Abstract
For ventilated critically ill patients the optimal targets need to be further defined but harm has been shown for mild hyperoxia. For patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive lung disease hyperoxia may lead to an increase of hypercarbia. Hyperoxia may increase myocardial necrosis in myocardial infarction. For patients with stroke, data do not show any benefit or harm from oxygen administration.
On the other hand, hyperoxia shall be used for treatment in patients with cardiac arrest until return of spontaneous circulation and in patients with carbon monoxide poisoning.
For other conditions, no benefit has been shown for hyperoxia, but undoubtedly, hypoxemia must be avoided, as well. Therefore, a normoxic oxygenation strategy should be employed. The optimal oxygenation targets for distinct conditions need to be further defined.
