Oxígeno. Un nuevo paradigma es una obra única en su tipo del aclamado autor Dr. Paul Marino (El libro de la UCI y El manual de la UCI) que desafía la noción tradicional de que el cuerpo humano se nutre de oxígeno y que favorecer la oxigenación de los tejidos es necesario para promover la vida. Este concepto no reconoce que el oxígeno es una molécula destructiva que también daña el cuerpo humano. En lugar de dar la bienvenida al oxígeno, el cuerpo humano limita la exposición de los tejidos al oxígeno y emplea un ejército de antioxidantes químicos para combatir sus efectos dañinos. Este diseño humano "protector del oxígeno" representa un nuevo paradigma de la relación entre el oxígeno y la supervivencia humana, y tiene importantes implicaciones para su uso excesivo y no regulado en la práctica clínica. La obra se divide en tres secciones, en las cuales se formula una serie de preguntas para examinar o esclarecer una característica específica relacionada con el oxígeno. La primera sección, titulada "¿Qué importancia tiene el oxígeno?", desmiente algunas de las creencias tradicionales sobre el oxígeno y las prácticas utilizadas para promover la oxigenación de los tejidos. La segunda sección, titulada "¿Qué tan destructivo es el oxígeno?", se centra en los efectos perjudiciales del oxígeno (oxidación). En la tercera y última sección, titulada "¿Y ahora qué?", se presentan recomendaciones para llevar a cabo esta estrategia de protección del oxígeno.
