At present, non-cannula intravenous anesthesia mostly uses nasal catheter oxygen inhalation, especially outpatient painless diagnosis and treatment patients basically use intravenous anesthesia, if obese, old age combined with complications, tongue falling backward, sleep apnea syndrome or respiratory obstruction, etc. Ventilation difficult patients, nasal oxygen inhalation will be insufficient ventilation, and blood oxygen saturation continues to decline, even respiratory depression, and the safety of vital signs is affected. On the other hand, the requirement of anesthetic quality control, all outpatient intravenous anesthesia patients need to have end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure monitoring, and at present, the equipment for monitoring end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure in non-cannula intravenous anesthesia is less and the accuracy is low.
