Non-inferiority Trial Between Sotair® Device Attached to Manual Resuscitator Versus Mechanical Ventilation

Effective respiratory ventilation is achieved by moving the right amount of air in and out of the lungs while keeping the pressures at a safe level. A disposable safety device, Adult Sotair®, was created to improve manual ventilation delivery. In this non-inferiority study, we will perform a pre-post study design (single group, within-group comparison) to test the non-inferiority of the Adult Sotair® device compared to mechanical ventilation.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients who are scheduled for non-emergency surgery with general anesthesia at Rhode Island Hospital. * American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status 1 and 2 Exclusion Criteria: * ASA PS \>3 (e.g., respiratory disease) * Oropharyngeal or facial pathology
