Overview

Prospective cross-sectional study identifies factors affecting oxygen saturation in postoperative patients, indicating key risks for desaturation.

Key Points

  • Approximately 43.3% of patients experienced oxygen saturation below 94% during transfer to the PACU.
  • Key factors associated with desaturation include advanced age, higher body mass index, and lower preoperative SpO₂ values.
  • Patients undergoing upper abdominal and thyroid surgeries were at higher risk of desaturation during transfer.
  • The use of neuromuscular blocking agents was significantly linked to lower oxygen saturation levels postoperatively.
