Oxygen Saturation Monitoring During Transport Between the Operating Room and the Post-anesthesia Care Unit

Primary outcomes

1. Reduction of the incidence of desaturations

   Time frame: upon Arrival in the Recovery Room

   To evaluate whether continuous SpO₂ monitoring during transfer between the operating room and the PACU reduces the incidence of desaturations by recording:

   • The last SpO₂ reading taken upon leaving the operating room
   • The first SpO₂ reading taken upon arrival in the recovery room
   • The lowest SpO₂ reading taken during the transfer between the operating room and the recovery room (for patients monitored by pulse oximetry)
