High Flow Nasal Cannula for Safe Apnea

July 27, 2023 updated by: Jin-Tae Kim, Seoul National University Hospital

Effect of High-flow Nasal Oxygenation on Safe Apnea Time in Children With Open Mouth

This is a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing high flow nasal cannula and buccal oxygenation as method of oxygenation during apnea in children.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing two oxygenation methods for prolongation of apnea time in children aged 0 to 10 years old.

This study measures time for the pulse oximetry drop from 100% to 92% after oxygenation with 100% oxygen, applying high flow nasal cannula or buccal oxygen insufflation via an oral Ring-Adair-Elwyn endotracheal tube connected to oxygen.
