Abstract

Objective: To compare the preoxygenation effectiveness of high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) and simple face mask before induction of anaesthesia in general anaesthesia for Caesarean section. Methods: A cross-sectional study on 60 Caesarean section cases with general anaesthesia in Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from 4-8/2024; divided into 2 groups: group FM included 30 cases use simple face mask and group HFNC included 30 cases use HFNC to increase oxygen stores prior to induction of anaesthesia. Results: The time from the baseline of SpO2 to 100% in group FM is more prolonged statistically significant than group HFNC (p<0,05). At the time of oxygen reserve and intubation, PaO2 in group HFNC is greater (p<0,05) and PaCO2 is lesser (p<0,05) than group FM. Conclusions: HFNC is more effective than simple face mask in improving preoxygenation in general anaesthesia for Caesarean section.
