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 Excessive haemodilution and the resulting anaemia during CPB is accompanied by a decrease in the total arterial oxygen content, which may impair tissue oxygen delivery. Hyperoxic ventilation has been..
