Association of Early Oxygenation Levels with Mortality in Acute Ischemic Stroke – A Retrospective Cohort..., Ischemic stroke is an emergency with elevated risk for morbidity and mortality. Hypoxia is harmful in acute ischemic stroke. Recent evidence raises concerns regarding hyperoxia as well in acute illness, and for supplemental oxygen therapy when SpO2greater than 92%. Current AHA/ASA guidelines recommend maintaining SpO2greater than 94%., Ischemic stroke is an emergency with elevated risk for morbidity and mortality. Hypoxia is harmful in acute ischemic stroke. Recent evidence raises concerns regarding hyperoxia as well in acute illness, and for supplemental oxygen therapy when SpO2greater than 92%. Current AHA/ASA guidelines recommend maintaining SpO2greater than 94%. In this study, we aimed to assess the relationship between the oxygenation levels within the first 6-hour of ischemic stroke admission and mortality., admin,
