Question

Answer; n (%)

If you use apnoeic oxygenation, what is the practical implementation of apnoeic oxygenation in children in your working environment?

Nasal Cannula; 23 (63.9%)

HFNC; 4 (11.1%)

Pharyngeal tube; 5 (13.9%)

Others; 4 (11.1%)

1 l/kg/min via nasal cannula/pharyngeal tube; 8 (22.2%)

2 l/min via nasal cannula/pharyngeal tube; 5 (13.9%)

HFNC < 20 l/min, FiO2 1.0; 1 (2.8%)

Others; 3 (8.3%)

No answer; 8 (22.2%)
