Oxygen desaturation after dental anaesthesia.
The incidence of oxygen desaturation (less than 91%) was measured by pulse oximetry during recovery from outpatient dental anaesthesia in 120 ASA grade I and II children. Alternate cases were given supplementary oxygen 5 litre min-1 by mask. Eighteen of 60 children (30%) given air and 14 of 60 (23%) given oxygen exhibited desaturation (P greater than 0.05). Desaturation was more likely to occur...
متن کاملArterial oxygen desaturation after induction of anesthesia.
To the Editor:—Naguib et al. have presented a clinically relevant study of arterial saturation values after preoxygenation and different doses of suxamethonium, and discuss their results using the extensive reports relevant to this topic. Unfortunately, they perhaps did not search the published work back to times before the pulse oximeter was introduced. Before the pulse oximeter, the Hewlett P...
متن کاملCrisis management during anaesthesia: desaturation.
BACKGROUND Desaturation occurs for many reasons under anaesthesia, some rare and obscure, and many potentially life threatening.

متن کاملRisk factors for oxygen desaturation during sleep, after abdominal surgery.
The postoperative period after major abdominal surgery is known to be a period of increased episodic oxygen desaturation. In order to assess the risk factors for episodic desaturation, we have studied 29 surgical patients using pulse oximetry during the preoperative night (Npre) when they received benzodiazepine premedication and breathed air, and also during the first three nights after operat...
