What you'll learn
Do you know that humans have recognized O2’s presence and sentinel role in respiration for less than four centuries? Oxygen can be helpful and, on the other side of the coin, can be harmful too! Oxygen administration is a basic and universal treatment in the hospital setting in critical care units.
This is generally advised to avoid hypoxemia and ensure an adequate supply of oxygen to the tissues. But often, we overlook the adverse effects of oxygen therapy. Oxygen can cause pulmonary damage and induces apoptosis and cell death, creating an imbalance between antioxidants and reactive oxygen mechanisms. Many questions remain unresolved about oxygen therapy, and there are not enough clinical studies that validate the therapeutic oxygenation ranges.
Take this course to have a detailed description of oxygen and answers to the unresolved questions.
