Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The Oxyfriend is a device consist of a small moulded silicone bridge which is used to secure the nasal cannula under the anaesthetic mask and improve oxygenation. The interventions will consist of comparing oxygenation of awake subjects utilising 100% oxygen and comparing the effectiveness of oxygenation between the anaestehtic mask arm and the anaesthetic mask plus Oxyfriend arm. The constant in this experiment will be that the investigator will be conducting both arms of the experiment so that preoxygenation technique is not altered. The data will be collected over 6 separate interventions which will be held back to back with a rest in between to allow normalisation of oxygenation of the subjects, 2 minute duration. The three interventions in this arm will be :
1. Anaesthetic mask
2. Anaesthetic mask and nasal cannula
3. Anaesthetic mask nasal cannula and Oxyfriend
The data will be collected, which is the end title oxygen after two vital capacity breaths, this will take 1 minute. The estimated overall time of data collection will be around 10 minutes. We will also be conducting a leak test which will conducted after the oxygenation portion and this will consist of all three arms:
1. Anaesthetic mask
2. Anaesthetic mask and nasal prong
3. Anaesthetic, nasal prong and the oxyfriend
The nasal prongs blocked at the oxygen connector end so that no flow occurs through the prongs during the test. The anaesthetic machine will be turned on and the circuit set to the ventilator setting with 4cm water PEEP and 2cm water pressure support. The anaesthetic mask is placed on the participant by the researcher to obtain the optimum seal possible. At the end of 1 minute of normal inspiration tidal volume will be measured and this will allow us to extrapolate the amount leakage which will occur in each arm. The investigator, an intern, will be administering the intervention and will be observed by a specialist anaesthetist and they will make sure all equipment is used appropriately.

Comparator / control treatment
The control will be measuring oxygenation utilising a traditional anaesthetic mask which is attached to the anaesthetic circuit.
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 320501 0
End tidal oxygen concentration measured via an anaesthetic machine after utilisation of oxyfriend in conjunction of standard anaesthetic mask and nasal casnnula with 15L/min of oxygen
Timepoint [1] 320501 0
100% oxygen will be administered and the participant will be requested to take 2 vital capacity breaths. At the end of the capacity breaths end title oxygen will be measured.
Secondary outcome [1] 371825 0
The level of leak measured by anaesthetic circuit by prefilling the circuit and measuring the amount of pressure lost over 1 minute. During this time, participants will be instructed to breath normally and the tidal volume, pressure within the circuit and oxygen levels will be closely monitored.
Timepoint [1] 371825 0
At the end of 1 minute of normal inspiration tidal volume will be measured throughout the duration and the pressure within the circuit will be noted at the end of 1 minute
