Conditions

Severe Obesity Design as BMI > 35kg/m2

Brief summary

Oro-tracheal intubation in operating room in obese patients with BMI \> 35kg/m2 remains a critical event. The aim of this study is to determine whether Nasal High Flow Therapy by nasal cannula Optiflow® is more efficient than the BIPAP preoxygenation before orotracheal intubation after crash induction in obese patients

Detailed description

This study will be designed as followed : Patients will be randomized in 2 groups : * Preoxygenation during 4 minutes with High Flow Nasal Cannula (60l/min FiO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen) = 1) before orotracheal intubation after crash induction. The device will be maintained in place throughout the intubation procedure in order to achieve apnoeic oxygenation. * Or Preoxygenation during 4 minutes with Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure (BIPAP) with Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP) + 5 cm H2O and Inspiratory Airway Positive Airway Pressure (IPAP) + 15, meaning a 10cm H2O pressure support. The facial mask with be removed after before crash induction enabling laryngoscopic vision.

Interventions

DEVICEHigh flow oxygen therapy by nasal cannula. Optiflow®

Patients randomized in interventional group will received a four minutes preoxygenation period with High Flow nasal cannula (60 l/mn FiO2 = 1) before orotracheal intubation. The device will be maintained in place throughout the intubation procedure in order to achieve apnoeic oxygenation.

DEVICEFacial mask oxygenation in BIPAP ventilation

Patients randomized in BIPAP group will receive a four minutes preoxygenation with EPAP 5, IPAP 15 FiO2 = 1 for a pressure support of 10 cm H2O. The facial mask with be removed after before crash induction enabling laryngoscopic vision
