The Effect of Hyperoxia on Ventilation During Recovery From General Anesthesia

Description

In this randomized-controlled trial the investigators will examine the effect of oxygen supplementation on the recovery of breathing for 90 minutes in the immediate post-anesthesia period starting from extubation of the trachea.
