Different Low Flow Rates on Gas Exchange in Children During Apnea
Sponsor: Yasser S Mostafa, MD
Summary
Effect of Low flow apneic oxygenation in pediatrics on rate of accumulation of transcutaneous carbon dioxide also, had been studied, compared to high flow rates. Furthermore, a recent study in apneic anesthetized adult discussed the rate of accumulation of carbon dioxide in arterial blood during 4 min of apnea but, no study in pediatrics discussed the effect of different low flow rates on rate of carbon dioxide accumulation during a period of apnea. Aim of the study: the authors aim to study the effect of different flow rates of low flow oxygenation during 3 min of apnea in anesthetized children on the rate of accumulation of carbon dioxide

Interventions
nasal cannula
After induction, bag-mask ventilation with 100% oxygen and flow rates of 6 L/ min will be carried out until the expired oxygen concentration will be \>90%, saturation of oxygen was 100%, and end tidal carbon dioxide was 30-40 mmHg. Once this will be reached, bag-mask ventilation will be stopped and apneic oxygenation will be initiated for 3 minutes
