Comparison of the Classic Face Mask Versus NuMask for Preoxygenation

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Inspired Oxygen (FIO2), End-tidal Oxygen (ETO2), End-tidal Carbon Dioxide (ETCO2) and Respiratory Rate (RR) Will be Measured Every 30 Seconds

In brief

Currently used face mask has certain disadvantages; such as, not providing a complete seal in certain patients, causing hand fatigue after holding the mask in place for more than a few minutes, causing claustrophobia in an occasional patient, the need to hold the mask from head of the bed, and possible worsening of the trauma in patients with facial injuries, and the need to use different size masks in different patients. The NuMask overcomes all of these disadvantages and does benefit the patients.
