Noninvasive Ventilator, V60 (Philips)
The noninvasive ventilator will be set to deliver 10 breaths per minute with a pressure setting of 8 cm H2O during exhalation and 20 cm H2O during inspiration. The inspired oxygen fraction given by the ventilator will be set at the maximum level (100% oxygen).
Manual Bag
Oxygen will flow through the standard breathing circuit with the fresh gas flow rate set at 10 L/min and the patient will be ventilated. The anesthesia provider will manually bag mask ventilate the patient until the anesthesiologist feels comfortable that the patient can be ventilated appropriately.
