Comparative efficacy of apneic oxygenation with face mask versus face mask alone pre-oxygenation to Prevent desaturation during endotracheal intubation of elective Pediatric surgical patients at St. Peter hospital, Addis Ababa Ethiopia:A single center prospective cohort study

2021, Anaesthesia Critical Care and Pain MedicineCitation Excerpt :This is unsurprising, as infants have higher relative oxygen consumption and lower pulmonary volumes [5] and desaturate more rapidly than larger children or adults [5,18]. This was previously found in many reports with duration of desaturation correlating negatively with age [5,18,28]. Consequently, tracheal intubation in infants is recommended to be performed by trained physicians [7,18].
Clinical Practice Guideline for Emergency Department Procedural Sedation With Propofol: 2018 Update
2019, Annals of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :Adults and adolescents who are preoxygenated with 100% FiO2 and become apneic have a mean of 6 minutes before they experience oxygen desaturation to less than 90%. In contrast, apneic healthy children aged 2 to 12 years will desaturate to less than 90% despite preoxygenation in 3 to 4 minutes, and healthy infants will desaturate in less than 2 minutes.88-90 Among children with risk factors such as underlying pulmonary disease or concurrent respiratory infection, desaturation will occur even more rapidly.91,92
