The Risk of Oxygen during Cardiac Surgery (ROCS) trial: study protocol for a randomized clinical trial

Abstract Background Anesthesiologists administer excess supplemental oxygen (hyper-oxygenation) to patients during surgery to avoid hypoxia. Hyper-oxygenation, however, may increase the generation of reactive oxygen species and cause oxidative damage. In cardiac surgery, increased oxidative damage h...
