Arterial anoxemia remains the prime indication for oxygen therapy in circulatory failure. When this disorder arises as a result of acute myocardial infarction, the administration of oxygen may relieve dyspnea, cyanosis and cardiac pain and tide the patient over the initial crucial stages of the attack. The diminution in the work of the heart and increased supply of oxygen for the myocardium may conceivably reduce the size of the resultant infarct in subjects with well developed collateral coronary circulations previous to complete occlusion. Oxygen inhalation therefore appears to be an important therapeutic measure in those cases of acute myocardial infarction in which cardiac damage and disturbance in function result in a secondary generalized arterial anoxemia.Within recent years the administration of oxygen at concentrations of 80 to 100 per cent has been advocated for the relief of intractable pain accompanying sudden major coronary arterial occlusion.1 It is claimed that |
