Hyperoxia does not affect oxygen delivery in healthy volunteers while causing a decrease in sublingual perfusion

ConclusionsIn healthy volunteers, supraphysiological arterial oxygen tensions have no effect on systemic oxygen delivery. Sublingual microcirculatory perfused vessel density decreased in a dose‐dependent fashion. All hemodynamic changes appear negligible up to an arterial oxygen tension of 20 kPaThis article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
