Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To compare the severity of intraoperative bowel distension with the use of nitrous oxide free and <br/ ><br>nitrous oxide based general anaesthesia in neonates undergoing laparotomy using surgical <br/ ><br>assessment and abdominal girth measurementTimepoint: Measured preoperatively, post induction and then every thirty minutes.
