Conclusion
hypoxemia
OBESE
In the morbidly obese population, RT/PPV, compared to RP/ZEEP, lengthens the SNHAP, decreases the time to obtain optimal preoxygenation conditions, and allows a faster resuming of secure oxygen saturation. The former combination allows a more significant margin of time for endotracheal intubation and minimizes the risk of hypoxemia in this highly vulnerable population.
