Participant Flow

Participants were recruited from six pediatric sites (Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, Cincinnati Children's hospital, Lurie Children's Hospital, University of Virginia Children's Hospital, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, and Boston Children's Hospital between October 2020 and January 2024. The first participant was enrolled on October 21, 2020 and the last participant was enrolled in January 19, 2024.

Population: Participants who completed the protocol.

Relative incidence of oxygen desaturation less than 90% as measured by pulse oximetry by second adjusted for post surgical diagnosis; data were recorded every 2 seconds while the procedure was being performed. Participants who experienced both a fall below 90% O2 and a 4% drop below baseline saturation are reported as having more than 1 event.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Duration of surgery or procedure, which is generally less than 2 hours

Population: Participants who completed the protocol.

Number of surgical interruptions due to desaturation defined by a pause in surgical procedures due to need to provide airway intervention to improve patient's oxygen saturation, normalized to case length. Airway interventions may include jaw thrust, bag mask ventilation, and/or endotracheal intubations.
