Study Overview
Brief Summary
European Resuscitation Council 2021 Guidelines and Advanced Life Support Provider Courses teach that the oxygen supply must be removed from the patient during defibrillation to the distance of minimum of 1 meter. Scientific articles describe few incidents of fire during defibrillation in oxygen - enriched atmospheres.
The study aims to performed a series of measurement of the oxygen concentration in the environment around the patient with different airway management used and ventilation provided.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Oxygen levels
Time Frame: From the initiation of oxygen therapy at the start of anesthesia induction until the completion of oxygen therapy at the end of the procedure (ranging from 30 minutes to 6 hours), oxygen concentration will be assessed continuously.
The oxygen levels in percentage
Secondary Outcomes
- Normal oxygen levels after the end of oxygen therapy(From the end of oxygen therapy at the completion of procedure until the reappearance of normal oxygen levels (21%), assessed continuously, up to 10 minutes.)
