High Flow Oxygen in Rapid Sequence Induction, Airway Morbidity
Conditions
Brief summary
High flow oxygen results in better oxygenation in emergency cases needing rapid sequence induction for anaesthesia. Secondary outcome measure is time for any desaturation.
Detailed description
The investigators intend to do the study using high flow oxygen for all emergency cases needing rapid sequence induction. As part of the study the Investigators will measure the oxygen levels in the blood gas sample of the patient and the heart rate of anesthetist in charge of the airway management. After the airway is secured the time for desaturation will be noted.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Oxygen levels in blood gas sample | intraoperative | Oxygen levels in blood gas sample after the airway is secured |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| time to desaturation | intraoperative or 10 minutes after intubation | after airway is secured time will be noted for oxygen levels to fall to 92% before the ventilation is started. |
| heart rate of anaesthetist performing the intubation | During the process of induction of anaesthesia and intubation upto 5 minutes post intubation | — |
