Strong recommendation: For patients with myocardial infarction or stroke, do not initiate supplemental O2 if the initial peripheral capillary O2 saturation is greater than 92%.
Weak recommendation: For patients with myocardial infarction or stroke, do not initiate supplemental O2 if the initial peripheral capillary O2 saturation is in the range of 90-92%.
