Conditions

Health Condition 1: null- ASA PHYSICAL STATUS 1 AND 2 Health Condition 2: O- Medical and Surgical

Interventions

Intervention1: Air-Q intubation Laryngeal Airway: Anesthesia was induced with propofol 1.5-2.5mg/kg. Muscle relaxation obtained with intravenous rocuronium 0.6mg/kg. After 3 minutes of ventilation wit
patient was ventilated with 3 different inspiratory pressures of 15, 20 and 25cm water. The difference between inspired and expired tidal volumes measured for 10 breaths at each pressure and quantifie
