Abstract
Hypoxaemia following surgery is common and may be prolonged and severe. The thresholds for deleterious effects of hypoxaemia on the heart and central nervous system are reviewed and the problems of assessment of the adequacy of tissue oxygenation are outlined. Recommendations for postoperative oxygen therapy are made.
