Why the study?
Does the degree of postanesthetic recovery (PAR) score correlate with oxygen saturation (SaO2) in infants and children recovering from anesthesia?
Population
81 ASA PS I unpremedicated infants and children recovering from anesthesia

PAR scores do not reliably indicate oxygenation status in children; leaves open whether continuous SaO2 monitoring improves outcomes.
Does the degree of postanesthetic recovery (PAR) score correlate with oxygen saturation (SaO2) in infants and children recovering from anesthesia?
Postanesthetic recovery scores do not reliably predict oxygen saturation in children, highlighting the need for continuous SaO2 monitoring or routine oxygen supplementation during recovery.
Soliman et al. (1988) studied this question.
