Abstract

Perioperative oxygen administration, a topic under continuous research and debate in anesthesiology, strives to optimize tissue oxygenation while minimizing the risks associated with hyperoxia and hypoxia. This review provides a thorough overview of the current evidence on the application of perioperative oxygen in adult patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery. The review begins by describing the physiological reasoning for supplemental oxygen during the perioperative period and its potential benefits while also focusing on potential hyperoxia risks. This review critically appraises the existing literature on perioperative oxygen administration, encompassing recent clinical trials and meta-analyses, to elucidate its effect on postoperative results. Future research should concentrate on illuminating the optimal oxygen administration strategies to improve patient outcomes and fine-tune perioperative care protocols for adults undergoing major noncardiac surgery. By compiling and analyzing available evidence, this review aims to provide clinicians and researchers with comprehensive knowledge on the role of perioperative oxygen administration in major noncardiac surgery, ultimately guiding clinical practice and future research endeavors.
