Oxygen supplementation via a nasopharyngeal catheter during intravenous general anesthesia resulted in significantly fewer episodes of hypoxemia and number of airway assist maneuvers. Future studies are needed to assess the utility of NPC in other clinical environments where supplemental oxygen is required in the setting of potential airway obstruction.
