Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed desaturation rates during general anesthesia in pediatric and adult patients, comparing those who were hypoxic (SpO2 < 92%) to nonhypoxic patients.
- Pediatric patients had a desaturation incidence of 11.1%, while adults had only 0.9%, indicating a significantly higher risk in children.
- Hypoxic individuals, both pediatric and adult, faced much greater risks of desaturation; pediatric hypoxic patients had a 2.5 times higher risk, while hypoxic adults were 20.1 times more at risk compared to their nonhypoxic counterparts.
