Abstract
Intubation is one of the most common procedures performed in operative rooms. It can be associated with life-threatening complications when difficult airway access occurs, in patients who cannot tolerate even a slight hypoxemia or when performed in patients at risk of oxygen desaturation during intubation, as obese, critically-ill and pregnant patients. To improve intubation safety, preoxygenation is a major technique, extending the duration of safe apnoea, defined as the time until a patient reaches an arterial saturation level of 88% to 90%, to allow for placement of a definitive airway. Preoxygenation consists in increasing the lung stores of oxygen, located in the functional residual capacity, and helps preventing hypoxia that may occur during intubation attempts. Obese, critically-ill and pregnant patients are especially at risk of reduced effectiveness of preoxygenation because of pathophysiological modifications (reduced functional residual capacity (FRC), increased risk of atelectasis, shunt). Three minutes tidal volume breathing or 3-8 vital capacities are recommended in general population, mostly allowing achieving a 90% end-tidal oxygen level. Recent studies have indicated that in order to maximize the value of preoxygenation (i.e, oxygenation stores) obese and critically-ill patients can benefit from the combination of breathing 100% oxygen and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIV) with end-expiratory positive pressure (PEEP) in the proclive position (Trendelenburg reverse). Recruitment manoeuvres may be of interest immediately after intubation to limit the risk of lung derecruitment. Further studies are needed in the field of preoxygenation in pregnant women.

ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2010; 29:198-203.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Applying an inspiratory support (AI) and a positive end expiratory pressure (PEP) could increase the effectiveness of the preoxygenation. STUDY DESIGN This randomized double blinded controlled study compares the impact on the expiratory oxygen fraction (FEO(2)) of two levels of AI with PEP to a traditional preoxygenation. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty healthy volunteers were studied. The criteria of exclusion were a body mass index >30, the presence of beard or moustache and the claustrophobia. Each subject went through three modes of preoxygenation during 3 minutes each in a random order: 1-spontaneous ventilation (VS), 2-preoxygenation with AI with 4 cmH(2)O/PEP 4 cmH(2)O (AI-4/PEP-4), 3-preoxygenation with AI with 6 cmH(2)O/PEP 4 cmH(2)O (AI-6/PEP-4). Subject's tolerance and leaks were also noted. RESULTS The FEO(2) at the end of the 3 minutes of preoxygenation was higher (p<0,001) with AI-4/PEP-4 (94+/-3%) and AI-6/PEP-4 (94+/-4%) than with technique VS (89+/-6%). One hundred percent and 90% of the participants reached one FEO(2)=90% with AI-4/PEP-4 and AI-6/PEP-4 respectively vs 65% with VS (p=0.0013). The participants tolerated better the VS and the AI-4/PEP-4 than the AI-6/PEP-4. More leaks were noted with the AI-6/PEP-4 than with the VS and the AI-4/PEP-4. CONCLUSION This study shows applying AI plus PEP during preoxygenation improves its effectiveness in the healthy subjects. It also suggests that, in a population of healthy volunteers, combination AI-4/PEP-4 is preferable to AI-6/PEP-4 because so effective, but better tolerated.

Abstract
PURPOSE Preoxygenation increases oxygen reserves and duration of apnea without desaturation (DAWD), thus it provides valuable additional time to secure the airway. The purpose of this Continuing Professional Development (CPD) module is to examine the various preoxygenation techniques that have been proposed and to assess their effectiveness in healthy adults and in obese, pregnant, and elderly patients. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The effectiveness of preoxygenation techniques can be evaluated by measuring DAWD, i.e., the time for oxygen saturation to decrease to <90%. Clinically, preoxygenation is considered adequate when end-tidal oxygen fraction is >90%. This is usually achieved with a 3-min tidal volume breathing (TVB) technique. As a rule, asking the patient to take four deep breaths in 30 sec (4 DB 30 sec) yields poorer results. Eight deep breaths in 60 sec (8 DB 60 sec) is equivalent to TVB 3 min. The DAWD is decreased in obese patients, pregnant women, and patients with increased metabolism. Obese patients may benefit from the head-up position and positive pressure breathing. A TVB technique is preferable in the elderly. Failure to preoxygenate is often due to leaks, which commonly occur in edentulous or bearded patients. In cases of difficult preoxygenation, directly applying the circuit to the mouth might be a useful alternative. Supplying extra oxygen in the nasopharynx during apnea might increase DAWD. CONCLUSION Since ventilation and tracheal intubation difficulties are unpredictable, this CPD module recommends that all patients be preoxygenated. The TVB 3 min and the 8 DB 60 sec techniques are suitable for most patients; however, the 4 DB 30 sec is inadequate.

Abstract
Managing the difficult airway poses an enormous challenge for anaesthesiologists, intensivists and A&E physicians, particularly because of the high probability of a potentially fatal outcome. Development and (pre-) clinical distribution of supraglottic airway devices (e.g. LMA, LT) and their enhancements, as well as the broad acceptance of awake fibre-optic intubation, led to a profound change in the strategy for managing the difficult airway. This is reflected in the revised ASA guidelines, implementing the use of the laryngeal mask airway and fibre-optic intubation. In view of the utmost importance of this topic the German Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (DGAI) framed an independent German guideline, considering German national terms and conditions. In analogy algorithms and guidelines of the ILCOR, ERC and ATLS were revised as well as those of many other national anaesthesiological boards. Nevertheless, massive national and international deficits exist in implementing these guidelines into practice and the implicated structural requirements with respect to education, reflection, team building and equipment concerning the individual institution.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare two techniques of preoxygenation, eight deep breaths (8DB) and tidal volume breathing in obese patients by measuring end-tidal fractional oxygen concentration (FETO2) and apnea time from 100% of hemoglobin saturation to 95% (T95%). STUDY DESIGN Prospective randomized study. METHODS Twenty obese patients (BMI >40 kg/m2) without cardiorespiratory disease nor difficult intubation criteria were randomized into two groups of ten. One group received preoxygenation with eight deep breaths in one minute (8DB) and the other with three minutes tidal volume preoxygenation (3TV) both under FIO2 100%. FETO2 every minute of preoxygenation and T95% were measured. Data were analyzed with Mann and Whitney test. A p <0.05 was considered significant. RESULT There was no significant difference between the groups regarding FETO2 values [84 +/- 4% (8DB) and 88 +/- 5% (3TV)] and T95% [176 +/- 23 s (8DB) and 181 +/- 35 s (3TV)]. The PETCO2 was significantly inferior in the 8DB group at the end of preoxygenation [PETCO2 =29 +/- 1 mmHg (8DB) and PETCO2 =36 +/- 5 mmHg (3TV)]. CONCLUSION 8DB and 3TV preoxygenation techniques in morbid obese patients induce similar FETO2 and T95%. However hyperventilation effects in the 8DB group are unknown.
