Training for day-case dental anaesthesia. Oxygen saturation during general anaesthesia administered by dental undergraduates. 1984

J F Walsh

Sixty-seven patients undergoing general anaesthesia for exodontia as outpatients were studied in order to measure the levels of oxygen saturation. Both the anaesthesia and extractions were performed by fourth year dental undergraduates working under direct supervision. Falls in oxygen saturation in excess of 5% were found in three groups of patients receiving 20%, 25%, and 30% oxygen in the inspired mixture.
