United States41 participantsStarted 2017-12-23

Plain-language summary

The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of apneic oxygenation on the time to desaturation in pediatric patients treated in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). The investigators hypothesize pediatric patients will have an increase in time to desaturation with apneic oxygenation when compared to standard practice in the PICU.
