Table 4. Multivariable analysis of the change in heart rate during intubation following fall in peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and after the use of atropine (corrected by the propensity score [PS]). Neonates are ≤28 days and older children >28 days and less than 8 years.

Neonates (n = 153) Older children (n = 111)
Heart rate change (bpm) P CI 95% Heart rate change (bpm) p CI 95%
Fall in SpO2 by 10% points −4.1 0.005 −1.3, −7.0 −5.4 <0.001 −2.6, −8.4
Difference with and without atropine (PS corrected) −45.9 <0.001 −34.3, −57.5 −43.5 <0.001 −25.5, −61.5
