This unique and timely work from bestselling author Dr. Paul Marino clearly identifies the harm that can be caused by the liberal and unregulated use of oxygen both in the community and in clinical practice. Dr. Marino's straightforward writing style makes this text easily accessible, highly readable reference for all healthcare providers in areas that routinely administer oxygen. -Highlights the destructive actions of oxygen and promotes a more balanced view of its use, both in the community (such as oxygen bars) and in clinical practice (where inhaled oxygen is used without evidence of oxygen deprivation in tissues). -Provides an alternative view of oxygen and makes a strong case for limiting the unregulated and overzealous use of this gas, and the attendant risk of harm. -Presents the knowledge and experience of Paul L. Marino, MD, PhD, author of the popular and highly regarded Marino's The ICU Book and The Little ICU Book.
