5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Before going off to sleep patients are given oxygen to saturate blood with oxygen to extend time before a decrease in the level of oxygen in the blood occurs. During this period, obese patients have a faster decrease in the level of oxygen in their blood. This study uses a device called "high-flow nasal cannula" (HFNC), which delivers humidified high-flow oxygen through 2 small plastic tubes placed just inside nostrils. In the intensive care unit settings this device has been used extensively and has become a standard practice. Purpose of this study is to determine whether these high-flow nasal cannula increase the time safely when going to sleep during elective surgery.

Interventional Study Model
Parallel Assignment
Model Description
Consented patients will be randomly assigned either to the interventional group (High Flow Nasal Cannula- HFNC) or to the control group (CON). The Group HFNC will be preoxygenated using HFNC and the Group CON will receive standard preoxygenation.
