| Maneuver | Description |
| Preoxygenation with 100% FiO2 [13, 18, 48, 70–72] | Maximizing FRC content of oxygen | Bite block placement before extubation [7, 73–77] | Minimizing endotracheal tube obstruction and oral, lingual, and dental injury | Patient monitoring during transfer to recovery [18, 75, 78–83] | Capnography and/or pulse oximetry during transfer | Supplemental oxygen during transfer to recovery [18, 80, 81] | Preventing hypoxemia during transfer |
