Table-III.
Comparison of SpO2 between two groups.
Variables | Group-A | Group-B | P-value |
---|---|---|---|
Mean±SD | |||
SpO2 before 30 minutes of surgery | 99±0.96 | 96.0±1.04 | 0.000* |
SpO2 after 12 hours of surgery | 96.4±1.04 | 95.4±0.81 | 0.000* |
Reduction in SpO2 | 2.89±0.5 | 3.2±0.8 | 0.000* |
Reduction > 4%; n (%) | 2(5.7) | 13(37) | 0.000* |
Group-A: Nasal packing was done with airway integrated Nasopore;
Group-B: Nasopore without airway integration.
p<0.05 is considered significant.
