Pulse oximetry was the subject of a 2-month quality assurance study in the pediatric PACU at The Children's Hospital of Denver. Criteria for the parameters of the study was based on the position statement developed by ASPAN. The subjects were pediatric day surgery patients. The data retrieved indicated that patients exhibited a notable oxygen desaturation on arrival in the PACU from the operating room, higher room air oxygen saturation (RA SaO2) was recorded as the patients exhibited evidence of being awake, and RA SaO2 on many patients measured at or near preoperative levels when other criteria for PACU discharge were met. The outcomes of this study resulted in the guidelines now used for the reference of practice on the use of pulse oximetry in our pediatric PACU.
脉搏血氧饱和度测定法是丹佛儿童医院儿科麻醉后监护室一项为期2个月的质量保证研究的主题。该研究参数的标准基于美国麻醉后护理协会（ASPAN）制定的立场声明。研究对象为儿科日间手术患者。检索到的数据表明，患者从手术室进入麻醉后监护室时出现明显的氧饱和度降低，随着患者出现清醒迹象，记录到更高的室内空气氧饱和度（RA SaO2），并且当满足麻醉后监护室出院的其他标准时，许多患者的RA SaO2测量值达到或接近术前水平。这项研究的结果产生了目前用于指导我们儿科麻醉后监护室脉搏血氧饱和度测定法使用实践的指南。
