Role of PeriOperative Oxygen in Reduction of Surgical Infection:

- Studies that Do Support the Use of O2 for Prevention of Infection:
     - Supplemental Perioperative Oxygen to Reduce the Incidence of Surgical-Wound Infection 
     - Supplemental perioperative oxygen and the risk of surgical wound infection: a randomized controlled trial.


- Studies that Do Not Support the Use of O2 for Prevention of Infection:
     - Surgical Site Infection and the Routine Use of Perioperative Hyperoxia in a General Surgical Population 
   - Correspondence: Clinical Use of Normobaric Hyperoxia
