RCP'S USING BIPAP IN ENDO FOR OSA PTS
Anesthesia has been utilizing Respiratory Therapists to maintain patients with OSA and morbid obesity with Bipap during endo cases to help prevent hypoxemia , hypercarbia and apneic episodes. This has mostly prevented anesthesiologists from using airway manuevers , chin lift , bag mask ventilation , etc during procedure. Anyone else experiencing this phenomena?
