1.Patients undergoing major elective oncologic surgery (For example, radical gastrectomy, pancreatic resection, hepatectomy, abdominal compartment resection, radical nephrectomy, retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, radical cystectomy, radical prostatectomy, colorectal resection, total abdominal hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy, and cytoreductive surgeries).
2.Patients requiring an arterial line as part of their standard-of-care.
1.Patients undergoing emergency surgery.
2.Hemodynamically unstable patients requiring inotrope support. Hemodynamically stable patients with elective low-dose intra-operative inotrope support of up to 0.05mcg/kg/min will still be included.
3.Haemoglobin less than or equal to 8g/dL at the time of surgery.
4.On mechanical ventilation prior to surgery.
5.Pre-existing local skin or nail disorders preventing accurate measurement of SpO2 by pulse-oximeter.
6.Patients with intrathoracic surgical procedures; to avoid potential confounding factors related to lung parenchymal resections, single-lung ventilation or mediastinal dissection.
