Brief Summary   Peri-operative aspiration of gastric contents is a rare but serious complication under general anaesthesia (GA). Aspiration of gastric contents can result in chemical pneumonitis, atelectasis, ventilation – perfusion mismatch, acute respiratory distress syndrome amongst others. Conventional face mask ventilation (FMV) during induction of GA may result in insufflation of air in to the gastric antrum leading to gastric distention. Therefore, rapid sequence induction (RSI) is commonly used in patients who are at risk of aspiration of gastric content like obese patients, pregnancy, patients with intestinal obstruction, etc.

Obese patients (Body Mass Index > 30 Kg/m2) are more prone to pulmonary aspiration compared to patients with normal BMI. This is mainly due to difficult bag and mask ventilation (BMV) resulting in higher gastric insufflation, and increased intraabdominal pressure. It has been shown that conventional FMV used during the induction of anaesthesia puts obese patients at risk of aspiration by causing insufflation of air into the stomach.On the other hand, obese patients may not achieve adequate oxygenation with spontaneous preoxygenation technique, putting them at risk of rapid desaturation. Hence, a modified FMV technique which would provide adequate oxygenation without putting these patients at risk of aspiration is ideal. 

Gastric ultrasound (US) has emerged as a non-invasive point of care diagnostic tool which allows for both qualitative detection and quantitative estimation of gastric volume with high sensitivity and specificity.

In this trial, we would like to compare the effect of conventional FMV (Tidal volume of 08 ml/kg and respiratory rate of 16 breaths/min) vs modified FMV (Tidal volume of 4 ml/kg and respiratory rate of 8 breaths/min) technique on gastric insufflation assessed by using gastric ultrasound during induction of GA in obese patients undergoing elective surgery.

Our hypothesis is that modified face mask ventilation technique is superior to conventional face mask ventilation technique in terms of causing lesser gastric insufflation in obese patients without having any deleterious effects on oxygenation and ventilation.
