Episode 3: Hyperoxia
https://phemcast.files.wordpress.com/2015/12/episode-3-hyperoxia.mp3
Hello and welcome to our next episode – we hope you enjoy it. This episode concentrates on hyperoxia – the delivery of lots (often too much) oxygen and the harms it may cause our patients. We both had colds – many apologies for the blocked noses and many sniffs!
We hope you find it useful.
To follow: Dr Matt Thomas from the Great Western Air Ambulance discussing his groups work around reducing hyperoxia post-rosc.
