Abstract
The depression of ventilation during general anesthesia has been recognized from the very inception of anesthetic practice1. Spontaneous breathing under general anesthesia results in hypoventilation, leading to arterial hypoxemia and hypercarbia. Therefore, the maintenance of adequate ventilation is of the utmost importance
