Stopped: Recruitment failure
Airway management is crucial part of the anaesthesia. There is always a considerable risk of complications or even failure during the anaesthesia induction and airway management. The risk could be greater considering anaesthesia in children and neonates because of their anatomical and physiological differences. Children and neonates are more susceptible to hypoxia and bradycardia during induction of anaesthesia, this risk is even greater during the rapid sequence induction/intubation (RSI), in which there is an apnoeic pause because of the absence of manual ventilation. Because of the pause it is necessary to provide enough oxygen in advance during preoxygenation. The aim of this trial is to compare providing oxygen by face-mask and by high-flow nasal oxygen cannula. Another outcome is to evalute the safety profile RSI in children and neonates.
