Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Wether nasal prongs are effective in maintaining oxygen saturation during periods of apnea in patients with simulated cervical spine immobilisationTimepoint: 6 minutes or untill the saturation falls till 95%

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the safe apnoea time in group which will be only preoxygenated as compared to group receiving oxygen insufflation through nasal prongs during apneoa in addition to preoxygenation.Timepoint: 6 minutes or until the saturation falls to 95%
