Anesthesia
Conditions
Brief summary
Two-handed mask ventilation has been shown to provide higher tidal volume than one-handed mask ventilation. The effects of the two techniques on respiratory mechanics during induction of general anesthesia, however, still need to be determined.
Detailed description
Mask positive pressure ventilation always causes the changes of respiratory mechanics such as ventral redistribution of regional ventilation, which impairs gas exchange. Two-handed mask ventilation has been shown to improve gas exchange by providing higher tidal volume than one-handed mask ventilation. We hypothesis that those higher tidal volume caused by two-handed mask ventilation would also improve the respiratory mechanics during induction of general anesthesia.
