摘要
The efficacy of five different techniques of pre‐oxygenation before a modified rapid intubation sequence was assessed, using oxygen saturation measurement, in patients aged over 65 years. Twenty patients in each group were pre‐oxygenated using four deep breaths or normal tidal breathing for 1, 2, 3, or 4 minutes. The acceptable period of apnoea was defined as the time taken to desaturate to 93%. The mean times (SD) taken to reach this end‐point were 3.7 (1.6), 4.1 (1.2), 5.4 (1.7), 5.4 (1.4) and 5.2 (1.7) minutes respectively. The apnoea times with 2, 3 and 4 minutes pre‐oxygenation were not significantly different from each other but were significantly longer than after four deep breaths and 1 minute. It is concluded that a pre‐oxygenation period of at least 2 minutes should be employed in the elderly before a rapid sequence induction. Copyright © 1991, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
