Table 1.

Association between hyperoxemia and clinically relevant outcomes after myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest.

Reference Study design Sample size Hyperoxemia definition Condition Location Conclusion
[20], Ranchordet al. RCT 136 6 L O2/min STEMI - High-O2 therapy had no effect on mortality or infarct size

[21], Spindelboeck et al. Retrospective cohort 1015 PaO2> 40.0 kPa Cardiac arrest Pre-hospital Higher hospital admission rates when during CPR

[22], Vaahersalo et al. Prospective cohort 409 PaO2> 40.0 kPa Cardiac arrest ICU No association with different 12 month outcome

[23], Ihle et al. Retrospective cohort 584 PaO2> 40.0 kPa Cardiac arrest ICU No association with in-hospital mortality

[24], Helmerhorst et al. Retrospective cohort 5258 PaO2 > 39.9 kPa Cardiac arrest ICU Hyperoxia not associated with higher mortality rates

[25], Bellomo et al. Retrospective cohort 12,108 PaO2> 40.0 kPa Cardiac arrest ICU No association with mortality

[26], Chirst et al. Retrospective cohort 134 - Cardiac arrest - Hyperoxia in the first 60 minutes after return of circulation is associated with better survival rates

[27], Lee et al. Retrospective cohort 213 - Cardiac arrest - Hypocarbia associated with in-hospital mortality. Hypoxemia and hyperoxemia associated with poor neurological outcome.

[28], Kilgannon et al. Retrospective cohort 6,326 PaO2> 40.0 kPa Cardiac arrest ICU Higher mortality rates, even when compared to hypoxemia

[29], Elmer et al. Retrospective analysis of prospective registry 184 Severe:
PaO2> 40.0 kPa
Moderate/ probable:
PaO2 13.5–39.9 kPa
Cardiac arrest ICU Severe associated with higher in-hospital mortality. Moderate/probable was not but was associated with improved organ function after 24 hours.

[30], Kilgannon et al. Retrospective cohort 4,459 - Cardiac arrest ICU Dose-dependent association with in-hospital mortality

[31], Janz et al. Post-hoc analysis of prospective cohort 170 - Cardiac arrest Cardiovascular care unit Higher in-hospital mortality and poor neurological status on hospital discharge in survivors

[32], Young et al. RCT 18 - Cardiac arrest Prehospital Study terminated early, because pre-hospital oxygen titration was not feasible.
