Oxygen is used in clinical situations that involve impaired gas exchange or increased oxygen demand. - Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure: restores adequate arterial oxygen saturation. - Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations: reduces dyspnea and improves exercise tolerance. - Peri‑operative care: maintains oxygenation during anesthesia and postoperative recovery. - Carbon dioxide retention disorders: provides oxygen while minimizing further CO₂ accumulation. - High‑altitude exposure: prevents hypoxia in individuals ascending to high elevations.

Oxygen therapy is generally well tolerated, but adverse reactions can occur.

Common Side Effects: - Dry or irritated nasal passages. - Mild headache. - Cough. - Warmth or flushing sensation at the delivery site. - Mild fatigue.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Oxygen toxicity leading to pulmonary inflammation. - Seizures secondary to high‑partial‑pressure exposure. - Retinal damage in premature infants (retinopathy of prematurity). - Fire hazard if used near open flames. - Worsening hypercapnia in patients with CO₂ retention disorders.

Oxygen should be administered only under medical supervision with appropriate monitoring. - Patient assessment: verify indication and target oxygen saturation before initiation. - Flow rate selection: adjust to maintain prescribed SpO₂ range, avoiding excessive concentrations. - Equipment check: ensure delivery devices (cannula, mask) are functional and fit correctly. - Fire safety: keep away from ignition sources and educate staff on fire‑risk protocols. - Monitoring: observe for signs of CO₂ retention, especially in COPD patients. - Store at ambient temperature: keep cylinders or liquid containers in a well‑ventilated, dry area away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Oxygen can influence the efficacy or safety of several concurrent therapies.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Nitrogen dioxide exposure: combined use can exacerbate lung injury. - High‑concentration anesthetic gases: may increase risk of fire.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Sedatives and opioids: enhanced respiratory depression risk. - Bronchodilators: may alter oxygen requirements, requiring titration. - Antioxidant supplements: theoretical reduction in oxidative stress benefits. - Inhaled corticosteroids: monitor for potential changes in airway reactivity. - Diuretics: watch for shifts in fluid balance affecting pulmonary edema risk.
