REBEL Cast Ep114: High Flow O2, Suspected ACS, and Mortality?

REBEL EM

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 and help reduce myocardial injury. More recent evidence, however, demonstrates that too much oxygen could be harmful ( AVOID Trial ) by causing coronary vasoconstriction and increasing oxidative stress.
