Hypoxemia on Emergence in Neonates and Young Infants: Incidence and Risk Factors in Patients < 2 Months Undergoing Inguinal Herniorrhaphy or Pyloromyotomy
Key Points
Hypoxemia occurs notably during anesthesia emergence in neonates and young infants undergoing surgery, with implications for patient safety.
Among surgery types, risk factors include age and specific procedures, such as inguinal herniorrhaphy and pyloromyotomy.
Assessment involved monitoring during emergence to document incidence, focusing on neonates under two months old.
Highlighting the need for heightened vigilance in managing anesthesia in young infants during surgery.
