Use of Non-invasive Ventilation during Procedural Sedation
Role Description: A considerably high percentage of patients exhibit airway obstruction during procedural sedation (MAC Anesthesia) and current solutions to reduce hypoxia risk are less than ideal. Nasal CPAP via new devices recently approved for use in OSA patients show promise for use in all patients with airway obstruction in moderate to deep sedation. Testing and adaptation of these new designs to the Anesthesia Provider environment is the aim of the this grant to improve patient safety during MAC cases.
