A novel nomogram to predict RAEs during transport. The nomogram provides a visual point system based on the combination of patient characteristics (age, preoperative URI, type of surgery, morphine equivalent, atropine usage, and RAEs during extubation to transport) to estimate the probability of RAEs during transport. To calculate the probability of RAEs during transport, the points of six variables determined on the scale were added to obtain the total points. Draw a vertical line from the total points scale to the last axis to obtain the corresponding probability of RAEs during transport. For example, if a pediatric patient ≤3 years (40 scores), combined with preoperative URIs (50 scores), presenting for ASD (60 scores), accompanied with morphine equivalent >0.153 mg/kg (60 scores) and atropine usage (45 scores), and developed RAEs during extubation to transport (95 scores), the total points were 350 scores, and the corresponding occurrence of RAEs during transport were nearly 80%. URI, upper respiratory tract infection; ASD, atrial septal defects; VSD, ventricular septal defects; PDA, patent ductus arteriosus; RAEs, respiratory adverse events.
