Continuous oxygen (SpO₂) monitoring during transfer from the operating room to the recovery area
Official title: Oxygen Saturation Monitoring During Transport Between the Operating Room and the Post-anesthesia Care Unit
Run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France · NCT07313488 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This will test whether continuous pulse oximetry during transfer from the operating room to the PACU reduces drops in oxygen levels in adults having general anesthesia.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 or older scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia at CHU de Strasbourg during the study period who have not received premedication that impairs judgment are eligible.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients having regional or local anesthesia, children, or those who received premedication that impairs judgment are unlikely to benefit from this monitoring approach.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study will enroll adult patients (≥18 years) scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia at CHU de Strasbourg between January 1, 2024 and April 30, 2025. Participants will have continuous SpO₂ recorded during the transfer from the operating room to the post-anesthesia care unit, with desaturation events logged and timed. The primary outcome is the incidence of desaturation during transfer, and secondary measures include duration and severity of events and any required interventions. Data collection uses noninvasive monitoring during routine care and does not change anesthesia management.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, continuous monitoring could detect low oxygen earlier during transfers and reduce unrecognized hypoxemia, improving immediate postoperative safety.
How similar studies have gone: Continuous pulse oximetry has reduced undetected hypoxemia in perioperative and ward settings, but transfer-specific evidence is limited.
