Inclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Intraoperative incidence of pulse oximetry (SpO2) ≤ 95% (or 10% below the baseline value)	from the induction of general anesthesia until the end of the surgery, up to 24 hours
Postoperative incidence of SpO2 ≤ 95% (or 10% below the baseline value)	within the first day after surgery
Postoperative incidence of respiratory complications	within the first day after surgery

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Intraoperative partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) from arterial blood gas analysis	from the induction of general anesthesia until the end of the surgery, up to 24 hours
Days needed to wean from mechanical ventilation	up to 1 month
Postoperative partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) from arterial blood gas analysis	within the first day after surgery
Initial SpO2 on arriving at pediatric intensive care unit	from the end of the surgery until postoperative 1 hour
