Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Mean Expired tidal volume (VTE) in neutral and head-rotated positions. Timepoint: During face mask ventilation immediately after induction of general anesthesia, we analyse 12 breaths. We will take our first reading at 0 seconds, 2nd reading is at 5th second,then successive 10 readings at 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 35th, 40th, 45th, 50th, 55th, 60th seconds respectively.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Incidence of airway obstruction during face mask ventilation.Timepoint: During face mask ventilation immediately after induction of general anesthesia, we analyse 12 breaths. We will take our first reading at 0 seconds, 2nd reading is at 5th second,then successive 10 readings at 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 35th, 40th, 45th, 50th, 55th, 60th seconds respectively to identify the incidence of airway obstruction.
