Brief Summary: Pre-oxygenation increases oxygen reserves in the body to reduce the likelihood of oxygen desaturation on induction of general anaesthesia. Pre-oxygenation with facemask is the commonest method method of pre-oxygenation. High-flow nasal oxygen is a newer alternative. This study randomises participants to receive pre-oxygenation by one of three methods: facemask, high-flow nasal oxygen, high-flow nasal oxygen plus mouthpiece.
Detailed Description: The administration of supplemental oxygen prior to induction of anaesthesia is known as pre-oxygenation. Pre-oxygenation increases oxygen reserves in the body with the purpose of delaying the time until oxygen desaturation after breathing stops (apnoea) following the administration of an anaesthetic. In the last decade, clinicians have begun utilising high-flow nasal oxygen for pre-oxygenation. However, the rationale for this is based largely on its ability to achieve ongoing oxygenation after the onset of apnoea (apnoeic oxygenation). This study isolates oxygen administration with high-flow nasal oxygen to the period when the person is breathing, without ongoing oxygen administration during the apnoea period, to quantify its effects during the pre-oxygenation period only. A third group of participants breathes oxygen through a mouthpiece in addition to receiving oxygen via high-flow nasal cannulae. The effect of these pre-oxygenation methods will be measured by the time taken until oxygen saturation levels decline to the lower end of the normal range (92%), along with other parameters such as blood oxygen levels.
