Oxygen as an Essential Medicine

Supplemental oxygen is an essential medication in critical care. The optimal oxygen dose delivery system remains unclear, however. The “dose” and “delivery” of oxygen carry significant importance for resource-limited settings, such as low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Regrettably, LMICS ofte...

description Supplemental oxygen is an essential medication in critical care. The optimal oxygen dose delivery system remains unclear, however. The “dose” and “delivery” of oxygen carry significant importance for resource-limited settings, such as low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Regrettably, LMICS often experience significant inequities in oxygen supply and demand, with major impacts on preventable mortality. These inequities have become particularly prominent during the global COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the need for additional investment and research into the best methods to utilize supplemental oxygen and ensure stable access to medical oxygen.
