The 2018 edition of the guidelines includes the revision of the recommendation regarding the use of 80% fraction of inspired oxygen (high FiO2) in surgical patients under general anaesthesia with tracheal intubation and the update of the section on implementation.

Based on the updated evidence, the GDG decided to revise the strength of the recommendation from strong to conditional.
