Journal Title: Journal Of Pediatric Critical Care - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Oxygen is life and falls in the category of essential drug. It is vital for cellular function. Oxygen therapy is the administration of oxygen in acute or chronic conditions above higher concentration than atmospheric air to prevent hypoxemia. The delivery of oxygen depends on various factors. Oxygen is full of advantage but injudicious use or hyperxaemia (FiO2>0.5) may be harmful to human body. Care should be taken while prescribing the oxygen. Hypoxemia should be avoided as such to prevent mortality.
