Primary outcomePrimary: Time to First Event: Pulse Oximetry at 95%, or Successful Intubation — 106; 169 seconds
Summary
Airway placement after anesthetic induction in pediatric patients is routinely performed at our institution without apneic oxygenation. When intubation is attempted by an inexperienced (learner) provider, the attending physician intervenes if necessary before the patient experiences excessive loss of oxygenation. The investigators plan to institute routine supplemental oxygenation via nasal cannula during this placement. This study will examine the effect of adding apneic oxygenation via nasal cannula on oxygen saturation.
