Pre‐oxygenation using high‐flow nasal oxygen in parturients undergoing caesarean section in general anaesthesia: A prospective, multi‐centre, pilot study

Abstract

Pre- and peri-oxygenation with high-flow nasal oxygen maintain adequate oxygen saturation levels during induction of anaesthesia also in parturients. Regurgitation of gastric content did not occur in any parturient and no other safety concerns were observed in this pilot study.
