Intervention
Control subjects will undergo their scheduled procedure and recovery with the usual care. Following recovery from anesthesia, a brief questionnaire will be provided to applicable patients or their parents / guardians / representatives.
Treatment subjects will undergo the scheduled procedure, with the difference being that a high-flow nasal cannula will be applied prior to the start of the procedure and removed following the procedure's conclusion. While applied, the cannula will deliver high- flow rate oxygen, air, or a mixture of variable oxygen concentration (21-100%) depending on the surgical conditions and requirements. The rate will be set at 1-4L/kg/min with a maximum of 70L/min. Participants in the treatment arm will then proceed to the recovery area as usual. Following recovery from anesthesia, a brief questionnaire will be provided to applicable patients or their parents / guardians / representatives. Intervention: Device: High-flow nasal cannula
