No effect of hyperoxia on outcome following major traumaDOI: 10.2147/OAEM.S181629 Keywords: oxygen, APACHE, arterial blood gas, in-hospital mortality Abstract: Oxygen supplementation has previously been considered beneficial when managing critically ill patients in order to avoid hypoxia. However, in recent years, studies have shown that hyperoxia may be harmful in critical care patients. The aim of the study was to investigate whether hyperoxia within the first 24 hours of admission following major trauma is associated with 30-day in-hospital mortality
