    Author: Liu BY.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1991 Mar; 29(3):168-9, 206. PubMed ID: 1874097.
    Abstract:
    The incidence of hypoxaemia was studied in 100 patients breathing room air during their transportation from the operating room to the recovery room. Hypoxaemia (SaO2 less than 90%) occurred in 24 (24%) patients. Oxygen saturation rose quickly above 95% when oxygen was administered. The causes of hypoxaemia are discussed. Quick transportation and oxygen supply were recommended.
