APACHE II score 0.02 −0.21 to 0.26 .86
Oxygen saturation at induction, (%) 1.13 0.77 to 1.49 <.001
Severe hypoxemia Adjusted odds ratio 95% Confidence intervals P value

The coefficient describes the increase in lowest oxygen saturation (%) or change in odds ratio associated with bag-mask ventilation compared to apneic oxygenation, an increase in age of 1 year, an increase in BMI of 1 kg/m2, an increase in APACHE II score of 1 point, and an increase in oxygen saturation at induction of 1%.
