Title: Effects of 100% oxygen and a mixture of oxygen and air on oxygen saturation in the immediate postoperative period in children.

The oxygen-air group had a statistically significantly higher incidence of hypoxemic episodes. Preoxygenation with 100% oxygen before transfer from the operating room reduces the incidence of hypoxemia in children.Read More
