What is Oxygen Therapy: Importance and Effects about?

Oxygen therapy aims to increase oxygen levels in the blood. It can be life-saving but also potentially lethal if not given properly. The goal is to raise PaO2 levels to at least 60 mmHg and SaO2 levels to at least 90% in order to support aerobic metabolism. However, too much oxygen can suppress respiratory drive and cause dangerous carbon dioxide retention in patients with impaired respiratory control. Careful titration of oxygen concentration is important.
