What all conditions require supplemental oxygen regardless of spo2 or presentation? I assumed most everything depended on spo2 or presentation, but I read that all pneumothorax’s should receive oxygen because it helps it to heal. What else is like that?
Recent data suggests that high-flow oxygen started promptly after stroke symptom onset salvages ischemic brain tissue. We investigated the consistency of oxygen delivery to suspected stroke patients in the pre-hospital (PH) and Emergency Department (ED) ...
Oxygen is not universally required for all patients. Current guidelines aim to prevent hypoxia but with potentially conservative limits. Oxygen should be administered to maintain SpO<sub>2</sub> at 92% or above. New areas for research, highlighted in this review, may provide a future approach...
Careful diagnosis of respiratory and circulatory compromise will help you choose the most appropriate treatment and destination for patients with suspected pulmonary embolism
With some anxiety, I'm rolling out a new talk this month atEMS Today in Baltimoreon the developing science related to oxygen administration. As my research and reading took me into the realm of free-radicals, oxidative stress and reperfusion injury, I began to pick up on possible problems...
You've asked quite a number of questions that should all be covered in class or thorough your reading assignments. We're not going to answer these questions for you.
