Abstract: Oxygen is the best known and well accepted medication in emergency medicine. In most emergencies high doses of oxygen are an essential part of treatment and seemed to be nearly free of adverse effects. Studies of the last two decades show hints to possible adverse effects of hyperoxia during post-resuscitation-care and myocardial infarction. These results should be critically reviewed and may lead to a rational use of oxygen in emergency care.<br /> (© Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.)
