SaO2 and Oxygen Administration

PAUL TAYLOR
About this episode

When treating patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), MONA is an acronym sometimes used to help us remember the initial interventions.

The O in MONA is Oxygen.

When we should administer oxygen to ACS patients.

When O2 administration is unnecessary based on an accurate pulse ox.

Monitoring patient's oxygen saturation (SaO2) using a pulse oximeter.

Review two common ACLS pre-arrest mega code scenarios.

Oxygen administration during CPR and post cardiac arrest.
