Recovery of Ventilation After Anesthesia for Laparoscopic Nephrectomy

Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT04723433

Purpose

The purpose of this randomized, controlled feasibility investigation is to characterize pharmacologically induced ventilatory depression after anesthesia and examine how is affected by the amount of supplemental oxygen patients are receiving in the immediate postoperative period.
