Title: Effect of oxygenation by nasopharyngeal airway on patients undergoing painless fiberoptic bronchoscopy
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of oxygenation by modified nasopharyngeal airway connected to anesthesia machine on the patients undergoing painless fiberoptic bronchoscopy.Methods Forty patients undergoing painless fiberoptic branchoscopy were equally randomized into two groups of N(oxygenation by nose pipe) and NP(oxygenation by nasopharyngeal airway).The patients were given intravenous infusion of fentanyl 0.05-0.10 mg,which was followed by target-controlled infusion(TCI) of propofol 2.5-4.0 μg/ml.Spontaneous breathing was kept during operation.Blood pressure,heart rate,SpO2 and respiratory suppression and side-effects were recorded.Results Compared to group N,the frequency of apnea and need for face mask assistant were less in group NP(P0.05).Conclusion Oxygenation by nasopharyngeal airway connected with anesthesia machine is safe and effective for the patients undergoing painless fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
