Objective:
To characterize the institutional oxygen management practices during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, including any potential changes during an 8-year study period.
Design:
A retrospective cohort study.
Setting:
A tertiary care cardiac surgical program.
Participants:
Patients who underwent cardiac surgery involving CPB, with or without hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA), between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2017.
Measurements And Main Results:
In addition to baseline patient characteristics, the authors recorded the partial pressures of arterial oxygen (Pao2), fraction of inspired oxygen, and mixed venous oxygen saturation during CPB of 696 randomly selected patients during an 8-year study period. The overall mean Pao2 was 255 ± 48 mmHg, without any significant change during the 8-year study period (p = 0.30). The mean Pao2 of HCA patients was significantly higher than in patients without HCA (327 ± 93 mmHg v 252 ± 45 mmHg, respectively; p < 0.001).
Conclusions:
The current approach to oxygen management during CPB at the authors' institution is within the range of hyperoxemic levels, and these practices have not changed over time. The impact of these practices on patients' outcomes is not fully understood, and additional studies are needed to establish firm evidence to guide optimal oxygen management practice during CPB.

Administering Oxygen by Mask
Administering oxygen by mask is a common nursing intervention that provides supplemental oxygen to patients with respiratory distress or chronic lung conditions. This procedure involves delivering oxygen at a specified rate through a face mask connected to an oxygen source.
Equipment

Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
