An observational study in Apnea, sponsored by Derek Sakata. Completed. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 64 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-05-09.

The direct objective of this study is to determine whether an experienced provider can more adequately and/or easily ventilate an anesthetized patient with the NuMask device as compared to traditional bag-valve-mask ventilation. These are approved masks, being used in the patients routine care. The researchers believe that mean tidal volumes obtained by experienced providers when manually ventilating anesthetized patients with the NuMask device will be larger than when using the traditional bag-valve-mask.
This is the only study on the registry with Derek Sakata as lead sponsor.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Patients selected will be undergoing elective surgery at the University of Utah
Exclusion Criteria:
Pt's randomized to Numask first will be ventilated for 10 breaths with the NuMask device first, followed by 10 breaths with the traditional face mask
Device: NuMask · Device: Traditional mask
patients randomized to traditional mask first will receive 10 breaths by traditional mask, followed by 10 breaths with NuMask
Device: NuMask · Device: Traditional mask
The NuMask is a relatively new mask ventilation device that has been registered with the FDA and used in the United States since 2006.
A traditional air inflated facemark used to ventilate patients
Tidal Volume comparison
Tidal volumes delivered between the two devices will be compared
Time frame: 2 minutes (one minute for NuMask, one minute for traditional mask)
Ease of use
Provider will rate each device for ease of use on a 1-5 scale with 1 being easy and 5 being difficult.
Time frame: 2 minutes
