Inclusion Criteria  
Age From  18.00 Year(s)
Age To  70.00 Year(s)
Gender  Both 
Details  Consenting adult patients (18-70 years), of both genders, of American Society of Anaesthesiologists functional class I or II, planned for elective surgery under GA with muscle relaxant, endotracheal intubation and controlled ventilation, AND in whom there exists need for intra-arterial cannulation.
 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  ASA functional class III and more, emergency surgeries, pregnancies, and lung related issues like chronic obstructive airway diseases, restrictive diseases, bronchial asthma, anticipated difficult airway, oropharyngeal or facial abnormalities making mask ventilation difficult and increased risk of aspiration.

At the end of period of apnea when the second sample of blood gas is collected 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. a. To compare the peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide levels, and pH among patients who were ventilated with bag and mask and those who were not ventilated during the apnea period.   One year 
b. To measure the safe apnea period among patients who were not ventilated during the apnea period.   One year

Brief Summary  

Pre-oxygenation meaning patient made to breathe pure oxygen prior to administration of general anesthesia (GA) is an time-honoured practice among anesthesiologists It aids in denitrogenation of the lungs and allows longer apnea time. After induction of GA including muscle relaxant for a variable period till adequate effect of muscle relaxant is established the patients are ventilated by bag and mask with pure oxygen During bag and mask ventilation there is the the potential risks of gastric insufflation (predisposes patients to aspiration and gastric injuries during laparoscopic surgeries) and hyperventilation (raises the intrathoracic pressure leading to reduced cardiac output and hypotension) We hypothesise that with adequate preoxygenation, there is no need of bag and mask ventilation of patients after induction of GA till endotracheal intubation.
