Arm 3
Arm Type
Experimental
Experimental
Experimental
Arm Label
E-C clamp mask holding technique
two-handed ventilation with jaw thrust
triple airway maneuver
Arm Description
the airway maneuver that press the mask against the patient's face (using the "C" of our thumb and forefinger) while pulling the jaw forward (using the "E" of our other fingers behind the mandible), and leaves one hand free to squeeze the bag.
the airway maneuver performed with thumbs point toward feet, palms press down and other fingers perform jaw thrust
the airway maneuver performed with two-handed mask ventilation, jaw thrust and head-tilt chin-lift technique
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Air exchange
Expired tidal volume, end tidal CO2 slope, peak inspiratory pressure between one-handed E-C clamp mask holding technique, two-handed mask ventilation with jaw thrust, and two-handed mask ventilation with triple airway maneuver
Secondary Outcome Measures
Hemodynamic change
blood pressure and heart rate variability during ventilation between one-handed E-C clamp mask holding technique, two-handed mask ventilation with jaw thrust, and two-handed mask ventilation with triple airway maneuver

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
One-handed E-C clamp mask holding technique, two-handed mask ventilation with jaw thrust, and two-handed mask ventilation with triple airway maneuver are three common airway management maneuvers. Sniffing position may improve ventilation between these three maneuvers. The investigators hypothesize that ventilation efficiency may be different between these three maneuvers whether the patient is in sniffing position or neutral position. The investigators would like to quantify this effect by measuring the expired tidal volume, airway pressure, EtCO2 slope and hemodynamic change between these three maneuvers during anesthesia induction.
Detailed Description
Mask ventilation is considered a important skill for airway management during general anesthesia induction and for apneic unconscious patients. One-handed E-C clamp mask holding technique, two-handed mask ventilation with jaw thrust, and two-handed mask ventilation with triple airway maneuver are three common airway management maneuvers. However, the efficiency of ventilation between these three maneuvers has to be clarified. Besides, whether sniffing position or neutral position may improve ventilation between these three maneuvers is to be determined. The investigators will collect airway parameters of the patients receiving general anesthesia and measure the expired tidal volume, airway pressure, EtCO2 slope and hemodynamic change between these three maneuvers during anesthesia induction.
