Intervention
The routine study usually lasts 1 hour. For the first 30 minutes, each subject will be anaesthetised with one of the agents. The agent will then be swapped and the patients anaesthetised with the other agent for the remaining 30 minutes. Variables will be recorded at the end of each period.
