Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The study design is two-period crossover study (repeated measures design) . Participants will complete two trials of 3-minutes pre-oxygenation via non-rebreather mask (NRM)., One trial will have an oxygen flow rate of 15lpm, The other will have the flow-meter valve turned wide open. The end-tidal oxygen (ETO2) will be measured at the end of each trial. The first trial will be followed by a washout period of 2 minutes. Allocation to the first trial (15lpm or fully open valve) will be randomised.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 301281 0
End-tidal oxygen after 3-minutes of preoxygenation will be assessed with a paramagnetic oxygen analyser from a standard anaesthetic machine. The same analyser will be used for all trials.

Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
The order of trials will be randomised. This randomisation will be performed using a random sequence generated using the statistical software “R”. Allocation is not concealed.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Random sequence generation by statistical software package.
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?



Intervention assignment
Crossover
Other design features
balanced Latin-Squares design. This allows the sequence of trials to be randomised, but balanced so that, if one participant was to conduct the trials in a particular order, another participant will perform their trials in the reverse of that order.
Phase
Phase 2
Type of endpoint/s
Pharmacodynamics
Statistical methods / analysis
Analysis will be by paired hypothesis test depending on parametric or non-parametric distribution of the data

Summary
Brief summary
Preoxygenation is critical to safe emergency airway management. Outside of the operating theatre and in prehospital environments, ‘Over flow’ from a standard wall/cylinder outlet has been proposed to greatly enhance preoxygenation via a Non-rebreather mask (NRB). Methods We performed a randomised crossover trial using two preoxygenation conditions; a NRB at 15lpm and the other a NRB with the 15lpm flowmeter with the dial turned all
the way open (over-flow). End-tidal oxygen (ETO2) as a measure of preoxygenation/denitrogenating efficacy, was measured by single exhaled vital capacity breath.
