AB Supplemental  oxygen,  defined  as  fraction  of  inspired  oxygen  (Fio2)  in  concentrations  greater  than  21%,  is  usually  administered  to  patients  throughout  the  perioperative  period.  The  most  common  devices  utilized  in  the  operating  room  are  attached  to  the  anesthesia  work  station.  Patients  arriving  in  the  post-anesthesia  care  unit  (PACU),  intensive  care  unit  (ICU),  and  postsurgical  floors  will  often  require  oxygen  delivery  by  other  means.  Upon  arriving  in  the  PACU,  20%  of  patients  aged  1-3  years,  14%  of  patients  aged  3-14  years,  and  8%  of  adults  will  experience  arterial  oxyhemoglobin  desaturation  on  room  air  to  SaO2  <  90%.
