Paramedic Review: Science of Oxygen Administration

This presentation challenges long-held beliefs about oxygen therapy in prehospital care. Drawing from recent research, it explores the potential dangers of routine high-flow oxygen administration and advocates for a more nuanced, evidence-based approach. Learning Objectives: 1. Explain the potential harmful effects of hyperoxia and how it can impact patient outcomes in various emergency scenarios. 2. Describe current evidence-based guidelines for oxygen administration in prehospital care, including titration methods and target oxygen saturation levels. 3. Demonstrate the ability to critically evaluate and potentially modify current oxygen therapy practices in light of emerging research and evolving best practices.
