Brief Summary

Facemask ventilation is the most fundamental and important skill for safe airway management during induction of anaesthesia. Upper airway obstruction encountered during ventilation may occur at the oropharynx, soft palate or epiglottis which can be overcome with the triple airway manoeuvre - head tilt, chin lift and jaw thrust ( advancing the mandible forward so the lower teeth are in front of the upper teeth). Even in difficult tracheal intubation, facemask ventilation is an alternative step to ensure sufficient oxygenation until the patient’s airway is secured. Some of the studies conclude that the neuromuscular blocking agent facilitates tracheal intubation and might improve facemask ventilation. and other studies says neuromuscular blockade neither improve nor hindered mask ventilation in patient with normal airway. Difficult mask ventilation secondary to laryngospasm and opioid-induced muscle rigidity can be improved following administration of neuromuscular blocking agent, making mask ventilation easier. Even a minute increase in tidal volume is potentially clinically significant in hypoxic patient. Study of this topic has an important implication for the question of whether neuromuscular blockade should be administered following adequate mask ventilation or not. Therefore, the main aim of study is to assess the impact of neuromuscular block on facemask ventilation in term of tidal volume. The primary outcome is the tidal volume measuring before and after neuromuscular blockade. Secondary outcome will be comparing audible mask leakage and gastric insufflation before and after neuromuscular blockade.
