Oxygenation Targets in Cardiac Surgery Patients - a Before-and-after Study

Summary

During surgery high concentrations of supplementary oxygen are routinely administrated. However, there is increasing evidence of potential harm with liberal oxygen therapy. The hypothesis of the present study is that oxygen therapy adjusted to a normal arterial oxygen target is feasible and will attenuate the side effects of supplementary oxygen therapy. The study design is a before-and-after study in which 25 patients will follow the standard regime with high concentrations of oxygen therapy and 25 patients will be treated with oxygen to achieve a normal value of arterial oxygenation.
