Introduction: Prior to intubation, preoxygenation is performed to denitrogenate the lungs and create an oxygen reservoir. After oxygen is removed, it is unclear whether renitrogenation after preoxygenation occurs faster in the supine vs the sitting position.

Methods: We enrolled 80 healthy volunteers who underwent two preoxygenation and loss of preoxygenation procedures (one while supine and one while sitting) via bag-valve-mask ventilation with spontaneous breathing.

Objective: Breast cancer radiotherapy is increasingly delivered supine with multiple, short breath-holds. There may be heart and lung sparing advantages for locoregional breast cancer of both prone treatment and in a single breath-hold. We test here whether single prolonged breath-holds are possible in the prone, front crawl position.

Background & Purpose: Multiple, short breath-holds are now used in single radiotherapy treatment sessions. Here we investigated the feasibility and safety of multiple prolonged breath-holds in a single session. We measured how long is a second breath-hold if we prematurely terminate a single, prolonged breath-hold of >5 min either by using a single breath of oxygen (O), or by reintroducing preoxygenation and hypocapnia.
