Ventilation strategy to avoid hypoxemia in children during anesthesia induction

Why is it important?

Paediatric patients have the highest risk of desaturation during anaesthesia induction

Perspectives

CPAP ventilation and passive CPAP oxygenation deferred SpO2 decrease after apnoea onset in the age groups examined. The CPAP technique was easy to apply and appeared to enhance patient safety.
