Thermal damage of the humidified ventilator circuit in the operating room: an analysis of plausible causes.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The extent to which insufflation of oxygen into the posterior pharynx during laryngoscopy prolongs adequate saturation in infants and small children remains unknown. Therefore, we compared oxygen saturation over time in preoxygenated small children with and without posterior pharynx oxygen insufflation. MET...
