Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
General anaesthesia induction leads to an apneic period which may be longer in case of a difficult airway. Apnea interrupts oxygen supply and may lead to hypoxemia. Desaturation is associated with several serious complications, like brain injuries, rhythm disturbances or cardiac arrest. Preoxygenation and apneic oxygenation help to prevent desaturation.
