Abstract

Background – Rationale for Clinical Audit Project:



  • Hypoxemia is a major problem in the immediate post-operative and during the transport period from Operation theatre to Post-anesthesia care unit (PACU).

  • Effective and early management can reduce morbidity and

  • We have witnessed few cases of desaturation in our PACU and hence the interest in this (25 files were reviewed and 4 patients developed desaturation in the PACU – managed by oxygen therapy and monitoring in high dependency unit.)

  • To identify the contributing factors, provide early treatment to patients with risk factors, provide recommendations for oxygen therapy, monitoring and to implement a protocol for management of hypoxemia.
