Journal of the American Medical Association, 318(12), 1125 - 1135. https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2017.11463

Importance: Hypoxia is common in the first few days after acute stroke, is frequently intermittent, and is often undetected. Oxygen supplementation could prevent hypoxia and secondary neurological deterioration and thus has the potential to improve r...
