The TRAUMOX2 trial was an open-label pragmatic, international randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate whether a restrictive oxygen strategy targeting lower oxygen saturation reduces death and/or major respiratory complications compared with a liberal oxygen strategy in adult trauma patients.
Background: Historically, we have treated acute coronary syndrome with supplemental oxygen regardless of the patient’s oxygen saturation. This intervention was based on the belief that pushing the patient’s PaO2 to supra therapeutic levels would increase O2 delivery to ischemic myocardium ...
Background: Oxygen therapy is frequently used in the emergency department for the treatment of hypoxia and respiratory failure and can be delivered in a variety of ways. Conventional oxygen therapy (COT) via nasal cannula is often a first line treatment, ...
Background: The first report for supplemental oxygen for angina was in 1900, and since then oxygen therapy has been a commonly used treatment of patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). The reason for this is the belief that supplemental oxygen ...
Background: Each year approximately 790,000 Americans suffer an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (Benjamin 2017). Traditional treatment for an acute myocardial infarction has included morphine, oxygen, nitroglycerine and aspirin (MONA) with interventions such as percutaneous coronary intervention providing more definitive management. ...
