The aim of the study is to assess the use feasibility of the FreeO2 system so as to deliver automatically oxygen in the post anesthesia care unit in a patient population admitted for major abdominal and thoracic surgery. The investigators' hypothesis is that FreeO2 system will provide a better control of the oxygen saturation and reduce postoperative hypoxaemia.

* Automatic adjustment of oxygen through the "Free O2" device. * "FreeO2" device in mode medical data collecting(SpO2,EtCO2...).
* Manual adjustment of oxygen without the assistance of the "FreeO2" device. * Only "FreeO2" device in mode medical data collecting(SpO2,EtCO2...).
