Summary
This is a randomized clinical trial investigating the utility of apneic oxygenation via nasal
cannulae in the post-induction setting for the purpose of prolonging the safe apneic time.
Three groups will be compared, a control group at 0 L/min, a 15 L/min and a 60 L/min group.
The primary outcome will be the difference in the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial
blood (PaO2) between groups throughout the nine-minute apneic period.
