Oxygen Level and Safe Emergence From Anesthesia

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Focus of Study is Postoperative Pulmonary Atelectacis

• Registration Number: NCT01779076
• Lead Sponsor: Region Västmanland

Brief Summary

Using a protective ventilation strategy during general anesthesia from pre-oxygenation to emergence and selecting patients without risk of a difficult airway or intubation, a lower fraction of inspiratory oxygen (FIO2) can be used during extubation. This might reduce the postoperative area of atelectasis without desaturations becoming more common.
