About this trial
Effect of Low flow apneic oxygenation in pediatrics on rate of accumulation of transcutaneous carbon dioxide also, had been studied, compared to high flow rates. Furthermore, a recent study in apneic anesthetized adult discussed the rate of accumulation of carbon dioxide in arterial blood during 4 min of apnea but, no study in pediatrics discussed the effect of different low flow rates on rate of carbon dioxide accumulation during a period of apnea.
Aim of the study: the authors aim to study the effect of different flow rates of low flow oxygenation during 3 min of apnea in anesthetized children on the rate of accumulation of carbon dioxide
