Brief Summary:
During the induction of general anesthesia, the anesthesiologist needs to provide the oxygen supply to meet the patient's needs continuously. In the clinical scenario, the pulse oximeter is used as a standard to monitor hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO2) but is limited to assess the oxygenation status beyond the measurement of 100%. The Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi) is a dimensionless parameter between 0 and 1 that is related to real-time oxygenation reserve status. This study was designed to evaluate the duration of warning time for desaturation provided by different ORi alarm triggers during prolonged apnea in surgical patients. The primary endpoint was the duration of additional warning time provided by the ORi trigger. The secondary endpoint was the correlation of ORi and PaO2.
Detailed Description:
This is an observational study of the routine clinical practice with no specific additional interventions required.
The investigators enrolled the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I to III patients scheduled for elective surgery with planned arterial catheter placement before induction. Patients were positioned supine on the operating room table. Standard monitors and the ORi sensor were placed. The patients were preoxygenated with a facemask (flow rate of 8 to 10 liters/minute) for 3 minutes with spontaneous ventilation. Propofol (2-2.5 mg/kg), fentanyl (2-3 mcg/kg) and rocuronium (0.6-0.9 mg/kg) were administrated to achieve anesthesia induction during following 3 minutes. The patient was keeping ventilated manually by the anesthesiologist during the induction phase and intubated under direct visualization with a video-assisted laryngoscope at 6 minutes. The endotracheal tube was not connected to the breathing circuit to avoid apneic oxygenation. The patients remained apneic. Ventilation was resumed when SpO2 fell to 90%. ORi and SpO2 were recorded every ten seconds. Arterial blood is sampled every minute, from preoxygenation to resumed ventilation, to observe blood oxygen concentration changes.
