Absolutely. How many times have we seen studies that were proven to be completely wrong? You never seem to hear about it though when someone comes along and debunks one of these.

If I could just clarify something. This isn't a study about the difference between oral and IV antibiotics. It's about antibiotics, period. Given the choice, I would rather hit something hard with IV's than throw pebbles at it with orals. The study is suggesting that over aggressive...

SpO2 is percent of oxygen saturation.. Oxygen sat is the same thing. I have no idea what the threshold for daytime O2 therapy would be. I would think it would need to be below 90%, but I can't say for sure.
