Oxygen Reserve Index in Airway Surgery in Children

A Randomized Controlled Trial of the Effect of Oxygen Reserve Index Monitoring for Preventing Hypoxia in Pediatric Airway Surgery

This study aimed to identify the effect of oxygen reserve index monitoring on the occurrence of oxygen desaturation (<90%) in pediatric patients undergoing airway surgery.

Inclusion Criteria:

• pediatric patients receiving airway surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

• baseline oxygen saturation less than 95%
• patients diagnosed as respiratory distress syndrome, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, pneumonia requiring oxygen supplements
