To know the difference between using oxygen only and oxygen plus nitrous oxide when inducing patients for general anaesthesia in terms of dose and time of propofol.

A single blinded randomized study to compare effect of mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen inhalation with oxygen alone in terms of induction dose of propofol and induction time, oxygen saturation and hemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy.
