This study confirms what many emergency medicine and critical care physicians have suspected for a long time -- that unnecessarily high concentrations of arterial oxygen may contribute to worse ...

Extreme hyperoxia was associated with less favorable short-term neurologic outcomes in patients who underwent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) ...

Hyperoxia contributes to the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in former premature infants. Injurious environmental factors such as hyperoxia may disrupt distal airway branching and alveolar ...
