“…The use of supplementary O 2 increases plasma levels of dissolved O 2 , contributing, discretely, to the improvement of DO 2 and oxygen consumption (VO 2 ) during tissue hypoxia. Hyperoxic pulmonary ventilation (inspired fraction of O 2 of 1.0) can accelerate the degradation of MetHb and prolong the survival of pigs submitted to lethal acute MetHba 2,3,5,7,9, [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] In situations of significant clinical manifestations (e.g., dizziness, headache, anxiety, dyspnea, symptoms of low cardiac output, somnolence, and seizures), besides the basic conduct mentioned, methylene blue should be used as a specific antidote. Several authors suggest that methylene blue should be used with MetHb above 30%, regardless of the presence or absence of symptoms 2,3,5,7,9,20,25,29 .…”
