INDUCTION OF ANESTHESIA USING MASK VENTILATION: MECHANISMS,METHODS, AND CLINICAL INSIGHTS
Keywords:
The induction of anesthesia is a critical step in ensuring patient comfort and safety during surgical and diagnostic procedures.Abstract
This article explores the principles, techniques, and clinical applications of mask ventilation for anesthesia induction. Emphasis is placed on the pharmacological considerations, patient selection criteria, procedural methods, and management of complications. Mask anesthesia, particularly useful for pediatric and uncooperative patients, remains a cornerstone in anesthesia practice. Recent innovations, such as advanced mask designs and safety protocols, continue to improve outcomes.
