Purpose

To identify risk factors for hypoxemia in anesthetized children, offering a basis for targeted clinical prevention to reduce its occurrence.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data from 342 children who underwent anesthesia in the Department of Anesthesiology, Pu'er People's Hospital, from January 2024 to June 2025.

n = 342 children

Results

longer anesthesia raises hypoxemia risk

OR 1.03 (95% CI 1.02 to 1.04)

CI excludes the null - significant

More results

ROC analysis showed that CRP (AUC=0.799) and anesthesia duration (AUC=0.849) had good predictive performance for hypoxemia occurrence during pediatric anesthesia.

The calibration and Decision Curve Analysis demonstrated satisfactory model performance.

“

Conclusion

Elevated CRP levels and prolonged anesthesia duration are independent risk factors for hypoxemia in children undergoing anesthesia.
