Key Points

• Respiratory events frequently occur after adenotonsillectomy in children with obstructive sleep apnea.
• Findings show a notable 35% incidence of hypoxemia during recovery following surgery.
• Observational analysis focusing on respiratory metrics post-adenotonsillectomy in a pediatric population.
• Highlights the need for careful monitoring of respiratory complications after such surgical procedures.
