No significant effect seen from routine oxygen therapy in normoxic patients with MI
A subgroup analysis of the DETO2X-AMI trial compared death, rehospitalization with myocardial infarction (MI), and heart failure in patients who had low-normal or high-normal oxygen saturation after MI and were assigned to oxygen therapy or ambient air.

Early use of conservative vs. liberal oxygen therapy did not improve ARDS survival, study finds
The data and safety monitoring board stopped the study prematurely due to safety concerns, as well as a low likelihood that the primary outcome of 28-day mortality would differ significantly between the two groups of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
