Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The study design is five-period crossover study (repeated measures design). Participants will be required to complete five trials of 3-minutes pre-oxygenation with 100% oxygen in using a bag valve mask (BVM) (at 15l/min) and nasal cannula (NC) in all of the following conditions; BVM alone, BVM+NC at 0l/min, BVM+NC at 5l/min, BVM+NC at 10l/min, BVM+NC at 15l/min, At the end of each trial, oxygen will be measured by an expiratory breath into an oxygen analyser. There will be followed by a washout period of 2 minutes after which the ETO2 will be remeasured to ensure it is within 1% of the participants baseline.

Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Allocation is not concealed.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Random sequence generation by statistical software package 'R'.
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?



Intervention assignment
Crossover
Other design features
The sequence by which the trials are to conducted will by a balanced Latin-Squares design. This allows the sequence of trials to be randomised, but balanced so that, if one participant was to conduct the trials in a particular order, another participant will perform their trials in the reverse of that order.
