The purpose of the study is to randomly and prospectively evaluate the differences in outcomes between the control group (closed full facemask immediate post-extubation with standard oxygenating device used post-operatively in PACU) and the SuperNO2VA™ group (SuperNO2VA™ immediate post-extubation and post-operatively in PACU)

RECRUITINGHypoxemia
Compare the incidence, severity, and duration of postoperative oxygen desaturation (oxygen saturation below 90% for greater than 1 consecutive minute)
Time frame: Within 90 minutes of extubation between the two study groups.
Airway maneuvers
Compare the number of airway interventions including chin up and/or jaw thrust, oral and/or nasal airway insertion, mask ventilation, intubation with ETT or SGA insertion performed by anesthesia providers
Time frame: Within 90 minutes of extubation
Post op respiratory complications
Compare the incidence of respiratory complications between the two groups (shortness of breath, respiratory rate \> 20 breaths per minute, accessory muscle use, difficulty breathing/swallowing/speaking)
Time frame: Within 90 minutes of extubation
Length of PACU stay
Compare the length of stay (time ready for discharge) in the recovery period between the control group and the SuperNO2VA™ group.
Time frame: Within 24 hours of surgery
