Podcast #380: Oxygen for the kill

Podcast #380: Oxygen for the kill

Author: Ryan Circh, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Review of 25 randomized control trials encompassing 16,037 acutely ill hospitalized patients
  • Patients given oxygen with saturations > 94% on room air were found to have associated increased mortality in-hospital, at 30-days, and at long-term follow up
  • It may seem intuitive, but do not give oxygen to patients that do not need it
