Read more New findings on the effects of oxygen in acute myocardial infarction - There has been an overconfidence in the oxygen-relieving effects of oxygen, which we can now disprove, says Robin Hofmann, cardiologist at Södersjukhuset. This week, the annual congress of the European Society of Cardiology in Munich takes place, which brings together cardiologists and researchers all over the world. Just like last year, new data from the Swedish oxygen study Deto2x-Ami has attracted a great deal of international attention. - Our new results confirm that routine oxygen in the ambulance for patients with suspected myocardial infarction and normal oxygen saturation in the blood did not improve survival after one year. Not least important, they show that it is not dangerous but just unnecessary to give oxygen to this patient group, says Robin Hofmann, cardiologist and researcher to the journal Dagens Medicin . The Deto2x-Ami research study includes over 6,600 patients with suspected myocardial infarction.
