Oman48 participantsStarted 2024-01-30

Plain-language summary

The goal of this observational study is to to evaluate a technique of initiating Sevoflurane low-flow anesthesia which is simple, has a quick wash-in and minimises gas consumption without compromising the safety when compared to conventional method of attaining low-flow anesthesia using initial high flows. Participants will explained about the procedure of induction of general anesthesia using either one of the above two methods and written consent will be obtained prior to inclusion in the study.
