Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Patients With Successful Ventilationfrom start of ventilation to end of ventilation (about 1 minute)

Successful ventilation is defined as expired carbon dioxide with three phases in at least one of the first three consecutive breaths.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Satisfaction of the Providers Obtained With Post Ventilation Surveyend of surgery (about 1 hour after start)
Peak Inspiratory Airway Pressure Achievedfrom start of ventilation to end of ventilation (about 1 minute)

This is measured by readings from the ventilator used in the operating room

Dynamic Airway Resistancefrom start of ventilation to end of ventilation (about 1 minute)

This is defined as the peak inspiratory flow divided by the corresponding airway pressure.

Expired Tidal Volume of Ventilationfrom start of ventilation to end of ventilation (about 1 minute)

This is measured by readings from the ventilator used in the operating room
