Research and Reviews in the Fastlane 119
This study examines the dose-relationship of oxygen therapy and infarct size assess by biomarkers. Excluding hypoxic patients and those with cardiogenic shocks 441 patients with STEMI were randomized to oxygen or room air. Every 100 L increase in oxygen exposure in the first 12 h was associated with significantly increased cTnI and CK of 1,4% and 1,2% respectively.
As the median supplemental oxygen exposure was 1746 L this would result in a 21% increase in infarct size.
