Oxygen: some facts
• OK-si-jen
• named by Antoine Lavoisier (mistakenly) from the Greek words oxys and genes, which mean "acid forming”
• “Discovered” in 1774 by• Joseph Priestley “dephlogisticated air”• Carl Wilhelm Scheele “fire air”
• the third most abundant element in the universe • nearly 21% of the earth's atmosphere• nearly half of the mass of the earth's crust, • two thirds of the mass of the human body • nine tenths of the mass of water

So you are called to see a man who is severely short of breath
Obviously you grab an oxygen cylinder and a face mask, perhaps a non-rebreather, or some nasal prongs, and just sit and wait till he settles

Figure 10.1 Diagrammatic representation of oxidation within the mitochondrion. The substrate diffuses from the cytoplasm into the mitochondrion where hydrogen is removed under the influence of the appropriate dehydrogenase enzyme.The hydrogen is carried by intramitochondrial NAD to the first of the chain of hydrogen carriers which are attached to the cristae of the mitochondria. When the hydrogen reaches the cytochromes, ionization occurs; the proton passes into the lumen of the mitochondrion while the electron is passed along the cytochromes where it converts ferric iron to the ferrous form. The final stage is at cytochrome a3 where the proton and the electron combine with oxygen to form water.Three molecules of ADP are converted to ATP at the stages shown in the diagram. ADP and ATP can cross the mitochondrial membrane freely while there are separate pools of intra- and extramitochondrial NADwhich cannot interchange

Nunn’s Applied Respiratory Physiology
• Circulatory arrest. When the circulation is arrested, hypoxia supervenes as soon as the oxygen in the tissues and stagnant capillaries has been exhausted. • In the case of the brain, with its high rate of oxygen consumption, there is only
about 10 seconds before consciousness is lost.
• Exposure to a barometric pressure of less than 6.3 kPa (47 mmHg): the Po2 rapidly falls to zero and consciousness is lost within one circulation time, which is of the order of 15 seconds (Ernsting and McHardy, 1960).
• Generally speaking, after breathing air, 90 seconds of apnoea results in a substantial fall of PO2 to a level which threatens the subject with loss of consciousness.

Effect of supplemental oxygen exposure onmyocardial injury in ST-elevation myocardialinfarction• Multicentre, prospective, randomised, controlled trial of 441 patients with STEMI
randomised to supplemental oxygen therapy or room air breathing.
• The primary endpoint was myocardial infarct size as assessed by cardiac biomarkers, troponin (cTnI) and creatine kinase (CK).
• Oxygen therapy was commenced by paramedics, and continued for up to 12 h postintervention in hospital.
• In this study, supplemental oxygen administered in the first 12 h after STEMI was associated with a dose-dependent increase in cTnI and CK release.
• Our findings suggest that a typical patient receiving supplemental oxygen exposure in the first 12 h after STEMI would experience an approximate 20% increase in myocardial infarct size.

25 randomised controlled trials enrolled 16 037 patients with sepsis, critical illness, stroke,
trauma, myocardial infarction, or cardiac arrest, and patients who had emergency surgery.

oxygen therapy increases
mortality without improving

outcomes. Supplemental oxygen
might become unfavourable above

Patients at risk of hypercapnic respiratory failure• A small reduction in ventilation may be a contributing factor to the
rise in carbon dioxide levels during oxygen therapy in COPD. Much of the rise in carbon dioxide which occurs is due to deterioration in the matching of blood flow and gas flow in the lungs.2 This can be avoided by giving controlled lower concentration oxygen therapy to vulnerable patients.

Who is at risk?If the diagnosis is unknown, patients aged >50 years who are long-term smokers with a history of chronic breathlessness on minor exertion such as walking on level ground and no other known cause of breathlessness should be treated as if having COPD. Patients without diagnosed COPD, but at risk of hypercapnic respiratory failure include patients with:
• cystic fibrosis
• bronchiectasis
• severe kyphoscoliosis or severe ankylosing spondylitis
• severe lung scarring from old tuberculosis (especially with thoracoplasty)
• morbid obesity (body mass index >40 kg/m2)
• musculoskeletal disorders with respiratory muscle weakness (especially if on home ventilation)
• overdose of opioids, benzodiazepines or other respiratory depressant drugs.

• assumes all patients are healthy controls with same calibration curve
• either approximate functional or fractional saturation
• 2 SD +/- 4%?

Factors affecting accuracy of oximeters
• motion artefact• newer oximeters better
• low saturation• poor validation
• overhead lights• SpO2 may be falsely elevated (sunlight) or lowered (infrared)
• heart rate unreliable
• dyshaemoglobinaemias• carboxyhaemoglobin
• viewed as if oxyhaemoglobin
• SpO2 overestimates SaO2
• methaemoglobin
• absorption ratio close to one (83-87%)
• SpO2 approaches 85% as metHb increases

Oxygen delivery devices: nasal and simple masks• A wide range of simple devices aim to blow oxygen at or into the air
passages.
• This oxygen is mixed with inspired air to give an inspired oxygen concentration which is a complex function of the geometry of the device, the oxygen flow rate, the patient's ventilation and whether the patient is breathing through his mouth or nose.
• The effective inspired oxygen concentration is impossible to predict and may vary within very wide limits (Leigh, 1973).

Evidence:The use of oxygen may be beneficial in emergencies with breathing and non-breathing victims [Class A; LOE Expert Consensus Opinion]. There is evidence to support the use of oxygen as part of first aid management of:• decompression illness (COSTR 2015, very low quality evidence) and for • shortness of breath (dyspnoea) in cancer patients with hypoxaemia (COSTR 2015 moderate quality
evidence) and without hypoxaemia (COSTR 2015, very low quality evidence).

3.2 Conditions where oxygen is recommended
• during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (Guideline 11.1.1, Guideline 12.2)
• bleeding (Guideline 9.1.1)
• burns (Guideline 9.1.3)
• shock (Guideline 9.1.4)

• drowning (Guideline 9.3.2)

12. All patients with shock, major trauma, sepsis or other critical illness should be managed initially with high concentration oxygen therapy from a reservoir mask. It is recommended that oxygen administration be targeted to achieve an oxygen saturation (SpO2) of 94-98%.
13. The routine use of supplemental oxygen high-dose oxygen via a reservoir mask is recommended for a patient with carbon monoxide poisoning.
14. Patients developing symptoms of decompression sickness after diving should be treated with high flow oxygen as soon as possible.

Summary
•Oxygen is good: sometimes
•Lack of oxygen is bad: sometimes
•Why not use it in everyone? It can cause harm
• Is there actually evidence of harm? Yes, but . . .
•So what about the guidelines? Complex, but a simple message

So you are called to see a man who is severely short of breath
Obviously you grab an oxygen cylinder and a face mask, perhaps a non-rebreather, or some nasal prongs, and just sit and wait till he settles

Management• Basic Life Support measures should never be delayed whilst waiting for oxygen or other equipment. [Class A; LOE Expert
Consensus Opinion].
• The short-term administration of supplemental oxygen to a breathing victim will not cause harm in most circumstances.
• The administration of oxygen and use of oxygen delivery devices should only be undertaken by those who are trained
• A victim who requires supplemental oxygen in a first aid setting requires further assessment by a health care professional so an ambulance must always be called.
• Pulse oximetry, may be useful in guiding oxygen therapy.
• Victims with an oxygen saturation of 94% or above do not usually need supplemental oxygen unless there are signs of cyanosis (blue colouration of skin), shock, decompression illness or a situation suggesting carbon monoxide poisoning
