FiO2 stands for fraction of inspired oxygen (O2). Wearing supplemental oxygen increases FiO2 from 21 percent to anywhere between 24 and 100 percent oxygen, depending on your oxygen source.
Why is high FiO2 bad?
Hyperoxia causes complex effects on several physiologic functions. It may affect alveolar ventilation/perfusion (Va/Q) (50), may reverse hypoxic vasoconstriction (51, 52), may induce pulmonary toxicity (53, 54) and it may reduce tissue blood flow due to vasoconstriction (55).

What FiO2 should be delivered initially?
For the patient’s safety after intubation, the FIO2 should always be set at 100% until adequate arterial oxygenation is documented. A short period with an FIO2 of 100% is not dangerous to the patient receiving mechanical ventilation and offers the clinician several advantages.
