Measure
Group A: Control
Group A: Control- Received no supplemental oxygen throughout the surgery and received oxygen at 4l/min. in 2hrs postoperatively
Group B: Test
Group B: Test- Received hyperoxygenation more than or equal to 50% throughout the surgery and received oxygen at 6l/min. upto 2 hrs postoperatively. oxygen: Hyperoxygenation refers to provision of ≥50% of oxygen by mask(non-rebreathing) through out the surgery.
