Mask Study: One-handed vs. Two Handed Technique in Children

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Obstructive Sleep Apnea

In brief

During induction of anesthesia in children, the investigators have observed significant variability in mask holding technique at our institution among different anesthesia practitioners. Some hold the face mask using one hand and others use two hands. The aim of our study is to comparatively evaluate the extent of airway obstruction in children whilst anesthetic mask is held with one hand with jaw thrust versus mask held using two hands with chin lift by anesthesia provider during induction of anesthesia in children.
