Effect of oxygen therapy on myocardial salvage in ST elevation myocardial infarction: the randomized SOCCER trial

Abstract

In STEMI patients undergoing acute PCI, we found no effect of high-flow oxygen compared with room air on the size of ischemia before PCI, myocardial salvage, or the resulting infarct size. These results support the safety of withholding supplemental oxygen in normoxic STEMI patients.
