Brief summary

This crossover investigation enrolls healthy volunteers and compares the exhaled oxygen content (FeO2) between the non-rebreather mask at the flush rate and a bag-valve-mask device at the flush rate, used with active positive pressure assistance.

Interventions

OTHERFlush rate oxygen

Using a standard flowmeter (Precision Medical, 8MFA), the flow of oxygen will be fully opened and oxygen will be administered for three minutes.

OTHERFlush rate oxygen with assist

Using a standard flowmeter (Precision Medical, 8MFA), the flow of oxygen will be fully opened and oxygen will be administered for three minutes. Positive pressure breaths to match the subject's inspiration will be provided during the three minute period.
