SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: at 1 min prior to intubation, intubation, and 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 min after

Arterial oxygen saturation was recorded at 1 min prior to intubation, intubation, and 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 min after; hypoxaemia was defined as occurrence of arterial oxygen saturation \<90% at any of the above measurements.
