Oxygen Level and Safe Emergence From Anesthesia

January 14, 2018 updated by: Lennart Edmark, Region Västmanland

Emergence From General Anesthesia With Laryngeal Mask Airway and Increased End-expiratory Pressure Using 30% Oxygen is as Safe as With 100% Oxygen But Reduces the Area of Post Operative Atelectasis.

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.
