Evaluation of Ventilation with Nasal Versus Face Mask After General Anesthesia Induction in Pediatric Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Because of some difficulties during face mask ventilation in unconscious patients, such as upper airway obstruction patients, we conducted this study to compare nasal and face mask ventilation during general anesthesia induction.

Methods

In this clinical trial study, 70 patients between 3 and 12 years old undergoing elective lower abdominal surgery with general anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups. After administration of induction agents, one group was ventilated with the face mask and 100% oxygenation in three minutes and the other with the nasal mask. The mean expiratory volume, airway pressure, end-tidal CO₂ (EtCO₂), blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂), and hemodynamic factors were recorded and compared in the baseline,
