Oxygen toxicity is a condition that occurs when the body is exposed to high levels of oxygen for a prolonged period of time. It can occur in various settings, including medical treatments such as mechanical ventilation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and oxygen supplementation for respiratory conditions. Oxygen toxicity can lead to lung damage, inflammation, and oxidative stress, which can potentially be harmful to the body. Researchers in this area study the mechanisms and effects of oxygen toxicity, as well as potential strategies to prevent or mitigate its negative impacts on health.
