Clinical Trial Summary

Study objective: Comparing the efficacy of three different preoxygenation strategies, i.e. non-rebreather face mask (NRM), bag-valve-mask (BVM) with and BVM without additional positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in three subgroups of spontaneously breathing volunteers. Study endpoints Primary Endpoint: The time taken from the start of preoxygenation until reaching an expiratory oxygen concentration (FeO2) of ≥ 90% or a maximum preoxygenation time of 3 min. Secondary endpoints: - Changes in regional ventilation within the posterior lung regions from baseline to the time when FeO2≥ 90% is achieved, assessed using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) - Difference in Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi) when FeO2≥ 90% is achieved Number of participants 15 participants per subgroup, i.e. 45 participants in total. Inclusion criteria - Normal-weight adults (body mass index, BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m2) with an "American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification System (ASA) " score of I or II - Adults with a BMI 25-39.9 kg/m2 with and ASA score <3 - Healthy (ASA I) children aged 6-12 years Exclusion criteria ASA 3, Age < 6 and age 12-18, pregnant women, missing informed consent, signs and symptoms of an acute respiratory illness on the study day. After informed consent and a medical check-up, baseline measurements will be done for 10 minutes (peripheral oxygen saturation SpO2, ORI, regional ventilation). Then the participants will undergo 3 different preoxygenation sessions with the 3 interfaces (i.e. non-rebreather facemask with reservoir and a bag-valve-mask with and without PEEP) in a randomized order and a 20 min washout between the sessions. Each preoxygenation session is conducted in a supine position and will be proceeded until the measured FeO2 (end expiratory O2 fraction) reaches 90% or up to a maximum time of 3 min. Afterwards 10 min of SpO2, ORI and regional ventilation measurements will follow.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Difference in Oxygen Reserve index (ORi) after 3 minutes of preoxygenation	Difference in Oxygen Reserve index (ORi) between the three arms after 3 minutes of preoxygenation. The ORi reflects a partial pressure of oxygen range of 80-200 mmHg as a value between 0 and 1.	After 3 minutes of preoxygenation
Secondary	Difference in expiratory oxygen concentration (FeO2) after 3 minutes of preoxygenation	Difference in expiratory oxygen concentration (FeO2) after 3 minutes of preoxygenation between the three arms after 3 minutes of preoxygenation	After 3 minutes of preoxygenation
Secondary	Time to Oxygen Reserve index (ORi) = 1.0	Time to Oxygen Reserve index (ORi) = 1.0	After 3 minutes of preoxygenation
