Background The best approaches to supplemental oxygen administration during surgery remain unclear, which may contribute to variation in practice. We aimed to assess determinants of oxygen administration and its variability during surgery. Methods Using multivariable linear mixed-effects regression, we measured the associations between intraoperative […]
