Abstract BACKGROUND: Patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) are frequently managed with varying degrees of hyperoxia. Existing data suggest that higher levels of Pao2 correlate with worsened outcome in patients..

Abstract BACKGROUND: Arterial hyperoxemia may cause end-organ damage secondary to the increased formation of free oxygen radicals. The clinical evidence on postoperative lung toxicity from arterial hyperoxemia during cardiopulmonary bypass..

Abstract Background: Exposure to hyperoxia, a high arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), may be associated with worse outcomes in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) support. We examined hyperoxia in..

Abstract Background: Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) can easily lead to supranormal oxygenation. The impact of hyperoxygenation beyond the early VA-ECMO support phase is unexplored. We sought to investigate its association..

Abstract Importance Oxygen supplementation is a cornerstone treatment in pediatric critical care. Accumulating evidence suggests that overzealous use of oxygen, leading to hyperoxia, is associated with worse outcomes compared with patients..
