Abstract
Current literature supports the utility of positive pressure ventilation devices in reducing airway obstruction in patients at high risk for respiratory complications during sedation. The SuperNO2VA device has been shown in several studies to improve oxygenation and reduce hypoxemic episodes in high-risk patients, particularly those with OSA and obesity. Studies comparing nasal CPAP to traditional oxygen delivery methods indicate that nasal CPAP is more effective in maintaining airway patency and preventing hypoxemia during sedation. Studies specifically examining the SuperNO2VA device demonstrate its effectiveness in improving respiratory stability and reducing the frequency of hypoxemic events as well as airway interventions in obese patients during sedation procedures. Additionally, studies have shown that the SuperNO2VA device is effective at maintaining ventilation and oxygenation in this patient population during anesthesia induction as well as postoperatively during anesthesia recovery.
