Summary

The mask ventilation is a necessary procedure to provide oxygenation before the tracheal intubation although the gastric insufflation occurs during the mask ventilation. Sugammadex, which is recently introduced, enables the use of high-dose muscle relaxant without concerning the delayed recovery of neuromuscular blockade. It seems that there is no need to perform the mask ventilation in adults with normal airway if the investigators use high-dose muscle relaxant for the anesthetic induction because adequate muscle relaxation can be achieved within 1-2 minutes. Therefore, the investigators hypothesized that routine mask ventilation is not needed in adult patients with normal airway. The investigators will compare the incidence of desaturation and gastric insufflation between the patients with mask ventilation and the patients without mask ventilation.

Conditions

• General Anesthesia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	mask ventilation	In mask ventilation group, rocuronium of 0.6 mg/kg will be administered after the loss of consciousness. Mask ventilation wil be performed until there is no response on the train-of-four stimulus. No mask ventilation - In no mask ventilation group, rocuronium of 1.2 mg/kg will be administered after the loss of consciousness. Tracheal intubation will be performed after confirmation of no response on the train-of-four stimulus. The mask ventilation will not be performed before the tracheal intubation.
PROCEDURE	no mask ventilation
DRUG	Rocuronium
