Oxygen supplementation exerts significant physiological effects beyond merely correcting hypoxemia, frequently driving adverse outcomes such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and gut dysbiosis when administered in excess.

The analysis

The retrieved literature supports the claim that oxygen therapy has broad physiological impacts beyond treating hypoxemia. Papers 2, 4, and 10 discuss hyperoxia-induced lung injury, gut dysbiosis, and systemic oxidative stress, respectively. No papers refute the claim that oxygen causes physiological effects beyond preventing hypoxemia.
