  • Title: [Pulse oximetry monitoring of postanesthetic transportation of ophthalmic surgery patients: risk of hypoxemia despite pre-oxygenation].
    Author: Loick HM, Goenner-Radig C, Prien T.
    Journal: Anasthesiol Intensivmed Notfallmed Schmerzther; 1991 Feb; 26(1):48-50. PubMed ID: 1863684.
    Abstract:
    40 adult patients, ASA class I-III, were studied with regard to their arterial oxygen saturation during transportation from the operating room to the recovery room, following ophthalmic surgery under general anaesthesia. Before transportation the patients were breathing oxygen spontaneously for 6 min.; during transportation they were breathing air. The time for the transport from the operating room to the recovery room was between two and eight minutes. Hypoxaemia (SaO2 85-90%) was observed in 18 cases, severe hypoxaemia (SaO2 less than or equal to 85%) in 5 cases.
