Samenvatting

Het aanbieden van zuurstof heeft als doel de ademhaling te ondersteunen en/of de zuurstofsaturatie in het bloed te verbeteren, ter behandeling of preventie van hypoxie. De bijzondere omstandigheden waarin prehospitale zorg wordt geleverd, leidt regelmatig tot het routinematig toedienen van 10-15 l/min zuurstof. Bovenmatige zuurstoftoediening, die leidt tot hyperoxemie, induceert echter ook lichaamsreacties die de uitkomst van de traumapatiënt negatief kunnen beïnvloeden. Zuurstoftoxiciteit is geassocieerd met onder andere respiratoire acidose, atelectase, toename van inflammatoire processen en meer opnames op de intensive care. Deze leiden uiteindelijk tot verhoogde mortaliteitscijfers. De toediening van zuurstof in de prehospitale zorg zou daarom per individuele patiënt moeten worden getitreerd tot normoxemie is bereikt.

Abstract

Oxygen is administered in prehospital trauma setting to support breathing and increase oxygen saturation to reverse or prevent hypoxia. The abnormal circumstances during prehospital care induce the use of regularly administration of maximum oxygen of 10-15 l/min. Yet this practise can produce systemic hyperoxia that was generally assumed to be harmless. However, emerging evidence suggests that for some acute patients, hyperoxia may be harmful. The dangers of pulmonary toxicity due to hyperoxia, range from increased risk on atelectasis to stimulating inflammatory processes, respiratory acidosis, eventually leading to increased numbers of ICU admittance and increased mortality. Therefore, the administration of oxygen in prehospital care should be titrated until normoxemia is reached.
