The arterial oxygen saturation was continuously monitored in 50 patients under spinal anesthesia. Of the 50 patients, low oxygen saturation below 95% and/or its decrease of more than 5% was observed in 19 patients (38%). The remaining 31 patients (62%) showed a normal oxygen saturation. Pentazocine 0.5 mg.kg-1 i.v. correlated significantly with arterial oxygen desaturation (P = 0.0001). It is possible that laparotomy is associated with the desaturation (P = 0.0582). No correlation between desaturation and the other factors (level of analgesia, position during operation, and hydroxyzine premedication) was found.
