Background and objective
The optimal oxygen supplementation needed to avoid tissue hypoxia in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) remains unclear. This study aimed to identify the arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) level needed to avoid tissue hypoxia which results in a poor prognosis in patients with PH.
Methods
We retrospectively analysed the data for 1571 right heart catheterizations in patients...
