Brief summary

To see the tolerance patients have after a general anaesthetic of nasal oxygen as opposed to facemask oxygen (which is normal). Previous studies show that compliance with oxygen therapy is better with nasal oxygen than facemask oxygen. Also we believe this technique gives patients as effective oxygenation. Therefore potentially improving patient safety.

Interventions

Extubation to nasal prong oxygen at 6L/min versus facemask oxygen at 6 L/min. From extubation until discharge from recovery ward (approximately for 1 hour).
