Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does transdermal oxygen improve sternal wound oxygenation in patients recovering from cardiac surgery?
Answer: Additional inspired oxygen improved Pao(2) and sternal wound PsqO(2) after bypass and may, consequently, reduce infection risk. However, oxygen insufflated locally into an occlusive dressing did not improve wound PsqO(2) and, therefore, does not appear to be useful clinically in cardiac surgery patients to reduce sternal wound infections.
Output (English): no
