| dc.description.abstract | A total of 90 children aged between 9 and 144 months undergoing Ear Nose and Throat
surgical procedures under general anaesthesia had continuous monitoring of oxygen
saturation after their operations.
The purpose of the study was to monitor arterial oxygen saturation for the first thirty
minutes in the recovery room to determine the prevalence, degree and duration of postoperative
hypoxemia in ASA I or II children following general anaesthesia after ENT
surgery.
The study showed that there is no significant hypoxia in these children following upper
airway surgery. However there is a progressive decrease in Sa02 in the first 10 to 20
minutes before it plateaus or increases. | en |
