  1. Continuous variables are expressed as mean ± SD or median (IQR), as appropriate; categorical data are presented as the number of events (proportion)
  2. SJOV supraglottic jet oxygenation and ventilation, BMI body mass index, ASA American Society of Anesthesiology classification of physical status, COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, OSAHS obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome
  3. aErythrocytosis was defined as a hemoglobin concentration of > 165 g/L in men and > 160 g/L in women; b Original hypoxia was defined as peripheral oxygen saturation of < 90% before oxygenation
