The mini-review is based on a systematic analysis of the literature
” Breathing oxygen-enriched air was associated with a higher Pao2 and thus increased oxygen delivery to the tissues”.
“..hyperoxia achieved by breathing oxygen-enriched air increases exercise performance in healthy subjects and even more in PH patients.”
“..allowing for a better ventilatory efficiency, and by an increased availability of oxygen in the working muscles and in the brain, leading to less dyspnea and a greater exercise tolerance.”
