BACKGROUND: Apneic nasal oxygenation (ApOx) prolongs the time to desaturation during intubation of adult patients, but there is limited prospective evidence for apneic oxygenation in pediatric patients. AIMS: We hypothesized that ApOx during operating room intubation of pediatric patients by inexperienced learners would prolong the interval before desaturation. METHODS: ) falling to 95, if ever. RESULTS: 95 (risk ratio for this event before intubation 0.05, 95% CI 0.03-0.09; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Apneic oxygenation via nasal cannula during intubation of pediatric surgical patients prolongs time before desaturation, thus extending the safe interval for airway management by learners.
