NCT02782871

Brief Summary

Following major head and neck surgery it may be necessary to keep patients intubated and ventilated for at least 12 hours to allow the swelling associated with the operation to subside. Therefore patients (participants) are transferred to the intensive care unit anaesthetised, in-tubated and ventilated. Current practice is that patients are manually ventilated, by hand, during transfer from the operating theatre to the intensive care unit.
