Hypoxemia in School-age Children Undergoing One-lung Ventilation: A Retrospective Cohort Study from the Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group

AnesthesiologyPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

An initial room air oxygen saturation of less than 98% was associated with an increased risk of hypoxemia in all children 4 to 17 yr of age. Extremes of weight, right-sided cases, and decreasing age were associated with an increased risk of hypoxemia in children 10 to 17 yr of age.
