The Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi) is a reference that could help clinicians with their
assessments of normoxic and hyperoxic states by scaling the measured absorption information
between 0.00 and 1.00. An ORi of 0.00 corresponds to PaO2 values of 100mmHg and below and an
ORi of 1.00 corresponds to PaO2 values of 200mmHg and above. This is a prospective,
observational, clinical study designed to evaluate the clinical utility of the Oxygen Reserve
Index (ORI) as an early warning for arterial hemoglobin desaturation during the induction of
general anesthesia and tracheal intubation in obese patients undergoing elective surgical
procedures.
