Scientific title
Study objectivesDoes positioning a patient in a reclined versus a supine position before pre-oxygenation improve the efficacy of this process? Primary null hypothesis is that positioning a patient 20 head-up will not effect the efficacy of pre-oxygenation.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedSurgery: Cholecystomy
Intervention20 women will be randomised to receive oxygen in the usual way.
20 women will receive oxygen in a slightly reclined position.

Monitors will be used to determine which group of patients demonstrates the most oxygen stored in their body. Patients will be connected to a breathing machine via a tube placed in their throat after they are asleep. The study also aims to investigate which position (lying flat or slightly reclined) provides the best view of the patient's throat when placing the tube.
