The effect of hyperoxia on disordered breathing during recovery from general anesthesia: A single-blinded, crossover, non-randomized -controlled, trial

J Clin AnesthPublished Non-randomised controlled crossover trial

Authors' conclusion

Oxygenation-independent assessment showed that hyperoxia improved disordered breathing immediately following anesthesia, primarily by decreasing the number of hypopneas.
