Abstract
OBJECTIVE Oxygen has been used liberally in ICUs for a long time to prevent hypoxia in ICU- patients. Current evidence suggests that paO2 >300 mmHg should be avoided, it remains uncertain whether an "optimal level" exists. We investigated how "mild" hyperoxia influences diseases and in-hospital mortality. DESIGN This is a retrospective study. SETTING 112 mechanically ventilated ICU-patients were enrolled. PATIENTS OR PARTICIPANTS 112 ventilated patients were included and categorized into two groups based on the median paO2 values measured in initial 24 h of mechanical ventilation: normoxia group (paO2 ≤ 100 mmHg, n = 43) and hyperoxia group patients (paO2 > 100 mmHg, n = 69). INTERVENTIONS No interventions were performed. MAIN VARIABLES OF INTEREST The primary outcome was the incidence of pulmonary events, the secondary outcomes included the incidence of other new organ dysfunctions and in-hospital mortality. RESULTS The baseline characteristics, such as age, body mass index, lactate levels, and severity of disease scores, were similar in both groups. There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of pulmonary events, infections, and new organ dysfunctions between the groups. 27 out of 69 patients (39.1%) in the "mild" hyperoxia group and 12 out of 43 patients (27.9%) in the normoxia group died during their ICU or hospital stay (p = 0.54). The mean APACHE Score was 29.4 (SD 7.9) in the normoxia group and 30.0 (SD 6.7) in the hyperoxia group (p = 0.62). CONCLUSIONS We found no differences in pulmonary events, other coded diseases, and in-hospital mortality between both groups. It remains still unclear what the "best oxygen regime" is for intensive care patients.

Clinicians' attitudes towards supplemental oxygen for trauma patients - A survey. Injury 2024:111929. [PMID: 39379198 DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2024.111929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2024] [Revised: 08/25/2024] [Accepted: 09/24/2024] [Indexed: 10/10/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Advanced Trauma Life Support guidelines (ATLS; 2018, 10th ed.) recommend an early and liberal supplemental oxygen for all severely injured trauma patients to prevent hypoxaemia. As of 2024, these guidelines remain the most current. This may lead to hyperoxaemia, which has been associated with increased mortality and respiratory complications. We aimed to investigate the attitudes among clinicians, defined as physicians and prehospital personnel, towards the use of supplemental oxygen in trauma cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS A European, web-based, cross-sectional survey was conducted consisting of 23 questions. The primary outcome was the question: "In your opinion, should all severely injured trauma patients always be given supplemental oxygen, regardless of arterial oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry?". RESULTS The survey was answered by 707 respondents, which corresponded to a response rate of 52 %. The respondents were predominantly male (76 %), with the largest representation from Denmark (82 %), and primarily educated as physicians (62 %). A majority of respondents (73 % [95 % CI: 70 to 76 %]) did not support that supplemental oxygen should always be provided to all severely injured trauma patients without consideration of their arterial oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2), with no significant difference between physicians and non-physicians (p = 0.08). Based on the respondents' preferred dosages, the median initial administered dosage of supplemental oxygen for spontaneously breathing trauma patients with a normal SpO2 in the first few hours after trauma was 0 (interquartile range [IQR] 0-3) litres per minute, with 58 % of respondents opting not to provide any supplemental oxygen. The lowest acceptable SpO2 goal in the first few hours after trauma was 94 % (IQR 92-95). In clinical scenarios with TBI, higher dosage of supplemental oxygen and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) were preferred, as well as targeting partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood as opposed to adjusting the FiO2 directly, compared to no TBI. CONCLUSION Almost three out of four clinicians did not support the administration of supplemental oxygen to all severely injured trauma patients, regardless of SpO2. This corresponds to a more restrictive approach than recommended in the current ATLS (2018, 10th ed.) guidelines.

Influence of age and sex on physical, cardiac electrical and functional alterations in progressive hyperoxia treatment: A time course study in a murine model. Exp Gerontol 2024; 191:112435. [PMID: 38636569 DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2024.112435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
Oxygen supplementation is a widely used treatment for ICU patients. However, it can lead to hyperoxia, which in turn can result in oxidative stress, cardiac remodeling, and even mortality. This paper expands upon previous research conducted by our lab to establish time-dependent cardiac changes under hyperoxia. In this study, both young and aged mice (male and female) underwent 72 h of hyperoxia exposure and were monitored at 24-hour intervals for cardiac electrophysiological and functional parameters using ECG and electrocardiogram data. Our analysis showed that young male mice experienced significant weight loss as well as significant lung edema by 48 h. Although young male mice were highly susceptible to physical changes, they were resistant to early cardiac functional and electrophysiological changes compared to the other groups. Both young and aged female and aged males developed functional impairments by 24 h of hyperoxia exposure. Furthermore, sex and age differences were noted in the onset of electrophysiological changes. While some groups could resist early cardiac remodeling, our data suggests that 72 h of hyperoxia exposure is sufficient to induce significant cardiac remodeling across all age and sex groups. Our data establishes that time-dependent cardiac changes due to oxygen supplementation can have devastating consequences even with short exposure periods. These findings can aid in developing clinical practices for individuals admitted to the ICU by elucidating the impact of aging, sex, and length of stay under mechanical ventilation to limit hyperoxia-induced cardiac remodeling.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Administration of oxygen therapy is common, yet there is a lack of knowledge on its ability to prevent cellular hypoxia as well as on its potential toxicity. Consequently, the optimal oxygenation targets in clinical practice remain unresolved. The novel PpIX technique measures the mitochondrial oxygen tension in the skin (mitoPO2) which allows for non-invasive investigation on the effect of hypoxemia and hyperoxemia on cellular oxygen availability. RESULTS During hypoxemia, SpO2 was 80 (77-83)% and PaO2 45(38-50) mmHg for 15 min. MitoPO2 decreased from 42(35-51) at baseline to 6(4.3-9)mmHg (p < 0.001), despite 16(12-16)% increase in cardiac output which maintained global oxygen delivery (DO2). During hyperoxic breathing, an FiO2 of 40% decreased mitoPO2 to 20 (9-27) mmHg. Cardiac output was unaltered during hyperoxia, but perfused De Backer density was reduced by one-third (p < 0.01). A PaO2 < 100 mmHg and > 200 mmHg were both associated with a reduction in mitoPO2. CONCLUSIONS Hypoxemia decreases mitoPO2 profoundly, despite complete compensation of global oxygen delivery. In addition, hyperoxemia also decreases mitoPO2, accompanied by a reduction in microcirculatory perfusion. These results suggest that mitoPO2 can be used to titrate oxygen support.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This review aims to: 1) identify the key circuit and patient factors affecting systemic oxygenation, 2) summarize the literature reporting the association between hyperoxia and patient outcomes, and 3) provide a pragmatic approach to oxygen titration, in patients undergoing peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). DATA SOURCES Searches were performed using PubMed, SCOPUS, Medline, and Google Scholar. STUDY SELECTION All observational and interventional studies investigating the association between hyperoxia, and clinical outcomes were included, as well as guidelines from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization. DATA EXTRACTION Data from relevant literature was extracted, summarized, and integrated into a concise narrative review. For ease of reference a summary of relevant studies was also produced. DATA SYNTHESIS The extracorporeal circuit and the native cardiorespiratory circuit both contribute to systemic oxygenation during venoarterial ECMO. The ECMO circuit's contribution to systemic oxygenation is, in practice, largely determined by the ECMO blood flow, whereas the native component of systemic oxygenation derives from native cardiac output and residual respiratory function. Interactions between ECMO outflow and native cardiac output (as in differential hypoxia), the presence of respiratory support, and physiologic parameters affecting blood oxygen carriage also modulate overall oxygen exposure during venoarterial ECMO. Physiologically those requiring venoarterial ECMO are prone to hyperoxia. Hyperoxia has a variety of definitions, most commonly Pa o2 greater than 150 mm Hg. Severe hypoxia (Pa o2 > 300 mm Hg) is common, seen in 20%. Early severe hyperoxia, as well as cumulative hyperoxia exposure was associated with in-hospital mortality, even after adjustment for disease severity in both venoarterial ECMO and extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A pragmatic approach to oxygenation during peripheral venoarterial ECMO involves targeting a right radial oxygen saturation target of 94-98%, and in selected patients, titration of the fraction of oxygen in the mixture via the air-oxygen blender to target postoxygenator Pa o2 of 150-300 mm Hg. CONCLUSIONS Hyperoxia results from a range of ECMO circuit and patient-related factors. It is common during peripheral venoarterial ECMO, and its presence is associated with poor outcome. A pragmatic approach that avoids hyperoxia, while also preventing hypoxia has been described for patients receiving peripheral venoarterial ECMO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperoxemia, often overlooked in critically ill patients, is common and may have adverse consequences. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the incidence of hyperoxemia induced by oxygen therapy in nonsurgical critically ill patients at intensive care unit (ICU) admission and the association of hyperoxemia with hospital mortality. METHODS This prospective cohort study included all consecutive admissions of nonsurgical patients aged 18 years or older who received oxygen therapy on admission to the Hospital Santa Luzia Rede D'Or São Luiz adult ICU from July 2018 through June 2021. Patients were categorized into 3 groups according to Pao2 level at ICU admission: hypoxemia (Pao2<60 mm Hg), normoxemia (Pao2= 60-120 mm Hg), and hyperoxemia (Pao2 >120 mm Hg). RESULTS Among 3088 patients, hyperoxemia was present in 1174 (38.0%) and was independently associated with hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR], 1.32; 95% CI, 1.04-1.67; P=.02). Age (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.02-1.02; P<.001) and chronic kidney disease (OR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.02-2.36; P=.04) were associated with a higher rate of hyperoxemia. Factors associated with a lower rate of hyperoxemia were Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score (OR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.83-0.93; P<.001); late-night admission (OR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.67-0.96; P=.02); and renal/metabolic (OR, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.13-1.39; P<.001), neurologic (OR, 0.02; 95% CI, 0.01-0.05; P<.001), digestive (OR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.13-0.41; P<.001), and soft tissue/skin/orthopedic (OR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.13-0.79; P=.01) primary reasons for hospital admission. CONCLUSION Hyperoxemia induced by oxygen therapy was common in critically ill patients and was linked to increased risk of hospital mortality. Health care professionals should be aware of this condition because of its potential risks and unnecessary costs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxygen therapy is an alternative for many patients with hypoxemia. However, this practice can be dangerous as oxygen is closely associated with the development of oxidative stress. METHODS Male Wistar rats were exposed to hyperoxia with a 40% fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) and hyperoxia (FIO2 = 60%) for 120 min. Blood and lung tissue samples were collected for gas, oxidative stress, and inflammatory analyses. RESULTS Hyperoxia (FIO2 = 60%) increased PaCO2 and PaO2, decreased blood pH and caused thrombocytopenia and lymphocytosis. In lung tissue, neutrophil infiltration, nitric oxide concentration, carbonyl protein formation and the activity of complexes I and II of the mitochondrial respiratory chain increased. FIO2 = 60% decreased SOD activity and caused several histologic changes. CONCLUSION In conclusion, we have experimentally demonstrated that short-term exposure to high FIO2 can cause oxidative stress in the lung.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Comparative effectiveness research is meant to determine which commonly employed medical interventions are most beneficial, least harmful, and/or most costly in a real-world setting. While the objectives for comparative effectiveness research are clear, the field has failed to develop either a uniform definition of comparative effectiveness research or an appropriate set of recommendations to provide standards for the design of critical care comparative effectiveness research trials, spurring controversy in recent years. The insertion of non-representative control and/or comparator arm subjects into critical care comparative effectiveness research trials can threaten trial subjects' safety. Nonetheless, the broader scientific community does not always appreciate the importance of defining and maintaining critical care practices during a trial, especially when vulnerable, critically ill populations are studied. Consequently, critical care comparative effectiveness research trials sometimes lack properly constructed control or active comparator arms altogether and/or suffer from the inclusion of "unusual critical care" that may adversely affect groups enrolled in one or more arms. This oversight has led to critical care comparative effectiveness research trial designs that impair informed consent, confound interpretation of trial results, and increase the risk of harm for trial participants. METHODS/EXAMPLES We propose a novel approach to performing critical care comparative effectiveness research trials that mandates the documentation of critical care practices prior to trial initiation. We also classify the most common types of critical care comparative effectiveness research trials, as well as the most frequent errors in trial design. We present examples of these design flaws drawn from past and recently published trials as well as examples of trials that avoided those errors. Finally, we summarize strategies employed successfully in well-designed trials, in hopes of suggesting a comprehensive standard for the field. CONCLUSION Flawed critical care comparative effectiveness research trial designs can lead to unsound trial conclusions, compromise informed consent, and increase risks to research subjects, undermining the major goal of comparative effectiveness research: to inform current practice. Well-constructed control and comparator arms comprise indispensable elements of critical care comparative effectiveness research trials, key to improving the trials' safety and to generating trial results likely to improve patient outcomes in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Concerns about the adverse effects of excessive oxygen have grown over the years. This study investigated the relationship between high oxygen saturation and short-term prognosis of patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) after liberal use of oxygen. METHODS This retrospective cohort study collected data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database (ICU cohort) and a tertiary stroke center (general ward cohort). The data on pulse oximetry-derived oxygen saturation (SpO2) during the first 24 h in ICU and general wards were respectively extracted. RESULTS Overall, 1117 and 372 patients were included in the ICU and general ward cohort, respectively. Among the patients from the ICU cohort, a spoon-shaped association was observed between minimum SpO2 and the risk of in-hospital mortality (non-linear P<0.0001). In comparison with minimum SpO2 of 93-97%, the minimum SpO2>97% was associated with a significantly higher risk of in-hospital mortality after adjustment for confounders. Sensitivity analysis conducted using propensity score matching did not change this significance. The same spoon-shaped association between minimum SpO2 and the risk of in-hospital mortality was also detected for the general ward cohort. In comparison with the group with 95-97% SpO2, the group with SpO2>97% showed a stronger association with, but non-significant risk for, in-hospital mortality after adjustment for confounders. The time-weighted average SpO2>97% was associated significantly with in-hospital mortality in both cohorts. CONCLUSION Higher SpO2 (especially a minimum SpO2>97%) was unrewarding after liberal use of oxygen among patients with sICH and might even be potentially detrimental.

Abstract
Background Oxygen is the commonest intervention provided to critically ill patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Despite this, it is unclear how much oxygen should be administered to patients in order to promote the best clinical outcomes and it has been suggested that a strategy of conservative oxygen therapy (COT) may be advantageous. We therefore sought to answer the question of whether COT versus usual or liberal oxygen therapy was beneficial to adult patients receiving mechanical ventilation on an intensive care unit (ICU) by performing a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods Studies were included if they were randomised controlled trials comparing COT to liberal or usual oxygen therapy strategies in acutely ill adults (aged ⩾18 years) admitted to an ICU, and reported an outcome of interest. Studies were excluded if they were limited to a specific single disease diagnosis. The review was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022308436). Risk of bias was assessed using a modified Cochrane Risk of Bias assessment tool. Effect estimates were pooled using a random effects model with the between study variance estimated using restricted maximum likelihood and standard errors calculated using the method of Hartung-Knapp/Sidik-Jonkman. Between study heterogeneity was quantified using the I2 statistic. The certainty in the body of evidence was assessed using GRADE criteria. Results Nine eligible studies with 5727 participants fulfilled all eligibility criteria. Trials varied in their definitions of COT and liberal or usual oxygen therapy. The pooled estimate of risk ratio for 90 day mortality for COT versus comparator was 0.99 (95% confidence interval 0.88-1.12, 95% prediction interval 0.82-1.21). There was low heterogeneity among studies (I2 = 22.4%). The finding that mortality was similar for patients managed with COT or usual/liberal oxygen therapy was graded as moderate certainty. Conclusions In critically ill adults admitted to an ICU, COT is neither beneficial nor harmful when compared to usual or liberal oxygen therapy. Trials to date have been inconsistent in defining both COT and liberal or usual oxygen therapy, which may have had an impact on the results of this meta-analysis. Future research should focus on unifying definitions and outcome measures.

Abstract
PURPOSE Oxygen therapy is vital in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients, but it is indistinct whether higher or lower oxygen targets are favorable. Our aim was to update the findings of randomized controlled trials (RTCs) comparing higher and lower oxygen strategies. MATERIALS AND METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Science were searched. RCTs comparing higher (liberal, hyperoxia) and lower (conservative, normoxia) oxygen in adult mechanically ventilated ICU patients were included. The main outcome was 90-day mortality; other outcomes include serious adverse events (SAE), support free days and length of stay (LOS). RESULTS No significant difference was observed for 90-day mortality. A lower incidence was found for SAEs, favoring lower oxygenation (OR, 0.86; 95%CI, 0.77-0.96; I 2 13%). No differences were observed in either support free days at day 28 or ICU and hospital LOS. CONCLUSIONS No difference was found for 90-day mortality, support free days and ICU and hospital LOS. However, a lower incidence of SAEs was found for lower oxygenation. These findings may have clinical implications for practice guidelines, yet it remains of paramount importance to continue conducting clinical trials, comparing groups with a clinically relevant contrast and focusing on the impact of important side effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Invasive mechanical ventilation in critically ill adults involves adjusting the fraction of inspired oxygen to maintain arterial oxygen saturation. The oxygen-saturation target that will optimize clinical outcomes in this patient population remains unknown. METHODS In a pragmatic, cluster-randomized, cluster-crossover trial conducted in the emergency department and medical intensive care unit at an academic center, we assigned adults who were receiving mechanical ventilation to a lower target for oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry (Spo2) (90%; goal range, 88 to 92%), an intermediate target (94%; goal range, 92 to 96%), or a higher target (98%; goal range, 96 to 100%). The primary outcome was the number of days alive and free of mechanical ventilation (ventilator-free days) through day 28. The secondary outcome was death by day 28, with data censored at hospital discharge. RESULTS A total of 2541 patients were included in the primary analysis. The median number of ventilator-free days was 20 (interquartile range, 0 to 25) in the lower-target group, 21 (interquartile range, 0 to 25) in the intermediate-target group, and 21 (interquartile range, 0 to 26) in the higher-target group (P = 0.81). In-hospital death by day 28 occurred in 281 of the 808 patients (34.8%) in the lower-target group, 292 of the 859 patients (34.0%) in the intermediate-target group, and 290 of the 874 patients (33.2%) in the higher-target group. The incidences of cardiac arrest, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, stroke, and pneumothorax were similar in the three groups. CONCLUSIONS Among critically ill adults receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, the number of ventilator-free days did not differ among groups in which a lower, intermediate, or higher Spo2 target was used.

OBJECTIVE We examined weather a protocol for fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) adjustment can reduce hyperoxemia and excess oxygen use in COVID-19 patients mechanically ventilated. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Two intensive care units (ICUs) dedicated to COVID-19 patients in Brazil. PATIENTS Consecutive patients with COVID-19 mechanically ventilated. INTERVENTIONS One ICU followed a FiO2 adjustment protocol based on SpO2 (conservative-oxygen ICU) and the other, which did not follow the protocol, constituted the control ICU. MAIN VARIABLES OF INTEREST Prevalence of hyperoxemia (PaO2>100mmHg) on day 1, sustained hyperoxemia (present on days 1 and 2), and excess oxygen use (FiO2>0.6 in patients with hyperoxemia) were compared between the two ICUs. RESULTS Eighty two patients from the conservative-oxygen ICU and 145 from the control ICU were included. The conservative-oxygen ICU presented lower prevalence of hyperoxemia on day 1 (40.2% vs. 75.9%, p<0.001) and of sustained hyperoxemia (12.2% vs. 49.6%, p<0.001). Excess oxygen use was less frequent in the conservative-oxygen ICU on day 1 (18.3% vs. 52.4%, p<0.001). Being admitted in the control ICU was independently associated with hyperoxemia and excess oxygen use. Multivariable analyses found no independent relationship between day 1 hyperoxemia, sustained hyperoxemia, or excess FiO2 use and adverse clinical outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Following FiO2 protocol was associated with lower hyperoxemia and less excess oxygen use. Although those results were not associated with better clinical outcomes, adopting FiO2 protocol may be useful in a scenario of depleted oxygen resources, as was seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Objectives Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and perioperative period are administrated supplemental oxygen. However, the correlation between oxygenation status with SAE and the target for oxygen therapy remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the relationship between oxygen therapy and SAE patients. Methods Patients diagnosed with sepsis 3.0 in the intensive care unit (ICU) were enrolled. The data were collected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC IV) database and the eICU Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD) database. The generalized additive models were adopted to estimate the oxygen therapy targets in SAE patients. The results were confirmed by multivariate Logistic, propensity score analysis, inversion probability-weighting, doubly robust model, and multivariate COX analyses. Survival was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method. Results A total of 10055 patients from eICU-CRD and 1685 from MIMIC IV were included. The incidence of SAE patients was 58.43%. The range of PaO2 (97-339) mmHg, PaO2/FiO2 (189-619), and SPO2≥93% may reduce the incidence of SAE, which were verified by multivariable Logistic regression, propensity score analysis, inversion probability-weighting, and doubly robust model estimation in MIMIC IV database and eICU database. The range of PaO2/FiO2 (189-619) and SPO2≥93% may reduce the hospital mortality of SAE were verified by multivariable COX regression. Conclusions SAE patients in ICU, including perioperative period, require conservative oxygen therapy. We should maintain SPO2≥93%, PaO2 (97-339) mmHg and PaO2/FiO2 (189-619) in SAE patients.

Abstract
Supplemental oxygen is an essential medication in critical care. The optimal oxygen dose delivery system remains unclear, however. The "dose" and "delivery" of oxygen carry significant importance for resource-limited settings, such as low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Regrettably, LMICS often experience significant inequities in oxygen supply and demand, with major impacts on preventable mortality. These inequities have become particularly prominent during the global COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the need for additional investment and research into the best methods to utilize supplemental oxygen and ensure stable access to medical oxygen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Oxygen administration is a fundamental part of pediatric critical care, with supplemental oxygen offered to nearly every acutely unwell child. However, optimal targets for systemic oxygenation are unknown. Oxy-PICU aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a conservative peripheral oxygen saturation (Sp o2 ) target of 88-92% compared with a liberal target of more than 94%. DESIGN Pragmatic, open, multiple-center, parallel group randomized control trial with integrated economic evaluation. SETTING Fifteen PICUs across England, Wales, and Scotland. PATIENTS Infants and children age more than 38 week-corrected gestational age to 16 years who are accepted to a participating PICU as an unplanned admission and receiving invasive mechanical ventilation with supplemental oxygen for abnormal gas exchange. INTERVENTION Adjustment of ventilation and inspired oxygen settings to achieve an Sp o2 target of 88-92% during invasive mechanical ventilation. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Randomization is 1:1 to a liberal Sp o2 target of more than 94% or a conservative Sp o2 target of 88-92% (inclusive), using minimization with a random component. Minimization will be performed on: age, site, primary reason for admission, and severity of abnormality of gas exchange. Due to the emergency nature of the treatment, approaching patients for written informed consent will be deferred to after randomization. The primary clinical outcome is a composite of death and days of organ support at 30 days. Baseline demographics and clinical status will be recorded as well as daily measures of oxygenation and organ support, and discharge outcomes. This trial received Health Research Authority approval on December 23, 2019 (reference: 272768), including a favorable ethical opinion from the East of England-Cambridge South Research Ethics Committee (reference number: 19/EE/0362). Trial findings will be disseminated in national and international conferences and peer-reviewed journals.

Too much tolerance for hyperoxemia in mechanically ventilated patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia? Report from an Italian intensive care unit. Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:957773.

Abstract
Background In COVID-19 patients requiring mechanical ventilation, the administration of high oxygen (O2) doses for prolonged time periods may be necessary. Although life-saving in most cases, O2 may exert deleterious effects if administered in excessive concentrations. We aimed to describe the prevalence of hyperoxemia and excessive O2 administration in mechanically ventilated patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia and determine whether hyperoxemia is associated with mortality in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or the onset of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Materials and methods Retrospective single-center study on adult patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia requiring invasive mechanical ventilation for ≥48 h. Patients undergoing extracorporeal respiratory support were excluded. We calculated the excess O2 administered based on the ideal arterial O2 tension (PaO2) target of 55-80 mmHg. We defined hyperoxemia as PaO2 > 100 mmHg and hyperoxia + hyperoxemia as an inspired O2 fraction (FiO2) > 60% + PaO2 > 100 mmHg. Risk factors for ICU-mortality and VAP were assessed through multivariate analyses. Results One hundred thirty-four patients were included. For each day of mechanical ventilation, each patient received a median excess O2 of 1,121 [829-1,449] L. Hyperoxemia was found in 38 [27-55]% of arterial blood gases, hyperoxia + hyperoxemia in 11 [5-18]% of cases. The FiO2 was not reduced in 69 [62-76]% of cases of hyperoxemia. Adjustments were made more frequently with higher PaO2 or initial FiO2 levels. ICU-mortality was 32%. VAP was diagnosed in 48.5% of patients. Hyperoxemia (OR 1.300 95% CI [1.097-1.542]), time of exposure to hyperoxemia (OR 2.758 [1.406-5.411]), hyperoxia + hyperoxemia (OR 1.144 [1.008-1.298]), and daily excess O2 (OR 1.003 [1.001-1.005]) were associated with higher risk for ICU-mortality, independently of age, Sequential Organ failure Assessment score at ICU-admission and mean PaO2/FiO2. Hyperoxemia (OR 1.033 [1.006-1.061]), time of exposure to hyperoxemia (OR 1.108 [1.018-1.206]), hyperoxia + hyperoxemia (OR 1.038 [1.003-1.075]), and daily excess O2 (OR 1.001 [1.000-1.001]) were identified as risk factors for VAP, independently of body mass index, blood transfusions, days of neuromuscular blocking agents (before VAP), prolonged prone positioning and mean PaO2/FiO2 before VAP. Conclusion Excess O2 administration and hyperoxemia were common in mechanically ventilated patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. The exposure to hyperoxemia may be associated with ICU-mortality and greater risk for VAP.

Abstract
Objective: To determine whether contemporaneous practices are adequately represented in recent critical care comparative effectiveness research studies. Design: All critical care comparative effectiveness research trials published in the New England Journal of Medicine from April 2019 to March 2020 were identified. To examine studies published in other high impact medical journals during the same period, such trials were subsequently also identified in the Journal of the American Medical Association and The Lancet. All cited sources were reviewed, and the medical literature was searched to find studies describing contemporary practices. Then, the designated control group or the comparable therapies studied were examined to determine if they represented contemporaneous critical care practices as described in the medical literature. Results: Twenty-five of 332 randomised clinical trials published in these three journals during this 1-year period described critical care comparative effectiveness research that met our inclusion criteria. Seventeen characterised current practices before enrolment (using surveys, observational studies and guidelines) and then incorporated current practices into one or more study arm. In the other eight, usual care arms appeared insufficient. Four of these trials randomly assigned patients to one of two fixed approaches at either end of a range of usually titrated care. However, due to randomisation, different subgroups within each arm received care that was inappropriate for their specific clinical conditions. In the other four of these trials, common practices influencing treatment choice were not reflected in the trial design, despite a prior effort to characterise usual care. Conclusion: One-third of critical care comparative effectiveness research trials published in widely read medical journals during a recent year did not include a designated control arm or comparable therapies representative of contemporary practices. Failure to incorporate contemporary practices into critical care comparative effectiveness trials appears to be a widespread design weakness.

The Effect of Hyperoxemia on Neurological Outcomes of Adult Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Neurocrit Care 2022; 36:1027-1043. [PMID: 35099713 PMCID: PMC9110471 DOI: 10.1007/s12028-021-01423-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2021] [Accepted: 12/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Hyperoxemia commonly occurs in clinical practice and is often left untreated. Many studies have shown increased mortality in patients with hyperoxemia, but data on neurological outcome in these patients are conflicting, despite worsened neurological outcome found in preclinical studies. To investigate the association between hyperoxemia and neurological outcome in adult patients, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception to May 2020 for observational studies correlating arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) with neurological status in adults hospitalized with acute conditions. Studies of chronic pulmonary disease or hyperbaric oxygenation were excluded. Relative risks (RRs) were pooled at the study level by using a random-effects model to compare the risk of poor neurological outcome in patients with hyperoxemia and patients without hyperoxemia. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses and assessments of publication bias and risk of bias were performed. Maximum and mean PaO2 in patients with favorable and unfavorable outcomes were compared using standardized mean difference (SMD). Of 6255 records screened, 32 studies were analyzed. Overall, hyperoxemia was significantly associated with an increased risk of poor neurological outcome (RR 1.13, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05-1.23, statistical heterogeneity I2 58.8%, 22 studies). The results were robust across sensitivity analyses. Patients with unfavorable outcome also showed a significantly higher maximum PaO2 (SMD 0.17, 95% CI 0.04-0.30, I2 78.4%, 15 studies) and mean PaO2 (SMD 0.25, 95% CI 0.04-0.45, I2 91.0%, 13 studies). These associations were pronounced in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (RR 1.34, 95% CI 1.14-1.56) and ischemic stroke (RR 1.41, 95% CI 1.14-1.74), but not in patients with cardiac arrest, traumatic brain injury, or following cardiopulmonary bypass. Hyperoxemia is associated with poor neurological outcome, especially in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage and ischemic stroke. Although our study cannot establish causality, PaO2 should be monitored closely because hyperoxemia may be associated with worsened patient outcome and consequently affect the patient's quality of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We examined weather a protocol for fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) adjustment can reduce hyperoxemia and excess oxygen use in COVID-19 patients mechanically ventilated. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Two intensive care units (ICUs) dedicated to COVID-19 patients in Brazil. PATIENTS Consecutive patients with COVID-19 mechanically ventilated. INTERVENTIONS One ICU followed a FiO2 adjustment protocol based on SpO2 (conservative-oxygen ICU) and the other, which did not follow the protocol, constituted the control ICU. MAIN VARIABLES OF INTEREST Pprevalence of hyperoxemia (PaO2>100 mmHg) on day 1, sustained hyperoxemia (present on days 1 and 2), and excess oxygen use (FiO2>0.6 in patients with hyperoxemia) were compared between the two ICUs. RESULTS 82 patients from the conservative-oxygen ICU and 145 from the control ICU were included. The conservative-oxygen ICU presented lower prevalence of hyperoxemia on day 1 (40.2% vs. 75.9%, p<0.001) and of sustained hyperoxemia (12.2% vs. 49.6%, p<0.001). Excess oxygen use was less frequent in the conservative-oxygen ICU on day 1 (18.3% vs. 52.4%, p<0.001). Being admitted in the control ICU was independently associated with hyperoxemia and excess oxygen use. Multivariable analyses found no independent relationship between day 1 hyperoxemia, sustained hyperoxemia, or excess FiO2 use and adverse clinical outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Following FiO2 protocol was associated with lower hyperoxemia and less excess oxygen use. Although those results were not associated with better clinical outcomes, adopting FiO2 protocol may be useful in a scenario of depleted oxygen resources, as was seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dong WH, Yan WQ, Chen Z. Effect of liberal or conservative oxygen therapy on the prognosis for mechanically ventilated intensive care unit patients: a meta-analysis. SAO PAULO MED J 2022; 140:463-473. [PMID: 35507988 PMCID: PMC9671248 DOI: 10.1590/1516-3180.2021.0062.21092021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2021] [Accepted: 09/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND For critically ill patients, physicians tend to administer sufficient or even excessive oxygen to maintain oxygen saturation at a high level. However, the credibility of the evidence for this practice is unclear. OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of different oxygen therapy strategies on the outcomes of mechanically ventilated intensive care unit (ICU) patients. DESIGN AND SETTING Systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis conducted at Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital, Affiliated to Nanchang University, Nanchang, China. METHODS We systematically searched electronic databases such as PubMed and Embase for relevant articles and performed meta-analyses on the effects of different oxygen therapy strategies on the outcomes of mechanically ventilated ICU patients. RESULTS A total of 1802 patients from five studies were included. There were equal numbers of patients in the conservative and liberal groups (n = 910 in each group). There was no significant difference between the conservative and liberal groups with regard to 28-day mortality (risk ratio, RR = 0.88; 95% confidence interval, CI = 0.59-1.32; P = 0.55; I2 = 63%). Ninety-day mortality, infection rates, ICU length of stay, mechanical ventilation-free days up to day 28 and vasopressor-free days up to day 28 were comparable between the two strategies. CONCLUSIONS It is not necessary to use liberal oxygen therapy strategies to pursue a higher level of peripheral oxygen saturation for mechanically ventilated ICU patients. Conservative oxygen therapy was not associated with any statistically significant reduction in mortality.

Abstract
RATIONALE Supplemental oxygen is among the most commonly administered therapies in intensive care units. High supplemental oxygen exposure has been associated with harm in observational human studies and animal models. Yet no consensus exists regarding which dose and duration of high oxygen constitutes harmful hyperoxemia, and little is known regarding the clinical factors that predict potentially injurious exposure. OBJECTIVES To determine the level and duration of arterial oxygen (PaO2) associated with mortality among mechanically ventilated patients, and to identify the clinical factors that predict this exposure. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients who received invasive mechanical ventilation at a single academic institution in 2017 and 2018. We used a generalized additive model to visualize the relationship between the measured PaO2 via arterial blood gases (ABGs) and 30-day mortality. We used multivariable logistic regression to identify patient- and hospital-level factors that predict exposure to harmful hyperoxemia. RESULTS We analyzed 2,133 patients with 33,310 ABGs obtained during mechanical ventilation. We identified a U-shaped relationship between PaO2 and mortality, where PaO2 was positively correlated with mortality above a threshold of 200 mmHg. 1,184 patients (55.5%) had at least one PaO2 level above this threshold. If patients spent an entire day exposed to PaO2 > 200 mmHg, they had 2.19 (95% CI 1.33 - 3.60, p = 0.002) greater odds of 30-day mortality in an adjusted analysis. Any exposure to severe hyperoxemia (PaO2 > 200 mmHg), was associated with mortality (OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.04 - 1.59, p = 0.021). The strongest clinical predictor of severe hyperoxemia exposure was the identity of the ICU in which mechanical ventilation was delivered. CONCLUSIONS Exposure to high arterial oxygen concentrations is common among mechanically ventilated patients, and the dose and duration of PaO2 ≥ 200 mmHg is associated with mortality. Severe hyperoxemia is highly variable across ICUs, and is far more common in clinical practice than in recent randomized trials of oxygen targeting strategies. Efforts to minimize this common and injurious exposure level are needed.

Abstract
Background Oxygen therapy is a widely used intervention in acutely ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). It is established that not only hypoxia, but also prolonged hyperoxia is associated with poor patient-centered outcomes. Nevertheless, a fundamental knowledge gap remains regarding optimal oxygenation for critically ill patients. In this randomized clinical trial, we aim to compare ventilation that uses conservative oxygenation targets with ventilation that uses conventional oxygen targets with respect to mortality in ICU patients. Methods The “ConservatIve versus CONventional oxygenation targets in Intensive Care patients” trial (ICONIC) is an investigator-initiated, international, multicenter, randomized clinical two-arm trial in ventilated adult ICU patients. The ICONIC trial will run in multiple ICUs in The Netherlands and Italy to enroll 1512 ventilated patients. ICU patients with an expected mechanical ventilation time of more than 24 h are randomized to a ventilation strategy that uses conservative (PaO2 55–80 mmHg (7.3–10.7 kPa)) or conventional (PaO2 110–150 mmHg (14.7–20 kPa)) oxygenation targets. The primary endpoint is 28-day mortality. Secondary endpoints are ventilator-free days at day 28, ICU mortality, in-hospital mortality, 90-day mortality, ICU- and hospital length of stay, ischemic events, quality of life, and patient opinion of research and consent in the emergency setting. Discussion The ICONIC trial is expected to provide evidence on the effects of conservative versus conventional oxygenation targets in the ICU population. This study may guide targeted oxygen therapy in the future. Trial registration Trialregister.nl NTR7376. Registered on 20 July, 2018.

A high fraction of inspired oxygen may increase mortality in intubated trauma patients - A retrospective cohort study. Injury 2022; 53:190-197. [PMID: 34602248 DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2021.09.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2020] [Revised: 09/01/2021] [Accepted: 09/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical ventilation of trauma patients is common, and many will require a higher than normal fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) to avoid hypoxaemia. The primary objective of this study was to assess the association between FiO2 and all-cause, one-year mortality in intubated trauma patients. METHODS Adult trauma patients intubated in the initial phase post-trauma between 2015 and 2017 were retrospectively identified. Information on FiO2 during the first 24 hours of hospitalisation and mortality was registered. For each patient the number of hours of the first 24 hours exposed to an FiO2 ≥ 80%, ≥ 60%, and ≥ 40%, respectively, were determined and categorised into exposure durations. The associations of these FiO2 exposures with mortality were evaluated using Cox regression adjusting for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), Injury Severity Score (ISS), prehospital Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, and presence of thoracic injuries. RESULTS We included 218 intubated trauma patients. The median prehospital GCS score was 6 and the median ISS was 25. One-year mortality was significantly increased when patients had received an FiO2 above 80% for 3-4 hours compared to <2 hours (hazard ratio (95% CI) 2.7 (1.3-6.0), p= 0.011). When an FiO2 above 80% had been administered for more than 4 hours, there was a trend towards a higher mortality as well, but this was not statistically significant. There was a significant, time-dependent increase in mortality for patients who had received an FiO2 ≥ 60%. There was no significant relationship observed between mortality and the duration of FiO2 ≥ 40%. CONCLUSION A fraction of inspired oxygen above 60% for more than 2 hours during the first 24 hours of admission was associated with increased mortality in intubated trauma patients in a duration-dependent manner. However, given the limitations of this retrospective study, the findings need to be confirmed in a larger, randomized set-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite oxygen being the commonest drug administered to critically ill patients we do not know which oxygen saturation (SpO2) target results in optimal survival outcomes in those receiving mechanical ventilation. We therefore conducted a feasibility randomised controlled trial in the United Kingdom (UK) to assess whether it would be possible to host a larger national multi-centre trial to evaluate oxygenation targets in mechanically ventilated patients. METHODS We set out to recruit 60 participants across two sites into a trial in which they were randomised to receive conservative oxygenation (SpO2 88-92%) or usual care (control - SpO2 ≥96%). The primary outcome was feasibility; factors related to safety and clinical outcomes were also assessed. RESULTS A total of 34 patients were recruited into the study until it was stopped due to time constraints. A number of key barriers to success were identified during the course of the study. The conservative oxygenation intervention was feasible and appeared to be safe in this small patient cohort and it achieved wide separation of the median time-weighted average (IQR) SpO2 at 91% (90-92%) in conservative oxygenation group versus 97% (96-97%) in control group. CONCLUSION Whilst conservative oxygenation was a feasible and safe intervention which achieved clear group separation in oxygenation levels, the model used in this trial will require alterations to improve future participant recruitment rates in the UK.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mechanical ventilation of intensive care unit (ICU) patients universally involves titration of the fraction of inspired oxygen to maintain arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2). However, the optimal SpO2 target remains unknown. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The Pragmatic Investigation of optimaL Oxygen Targets (PILOT) trial is a prospective, unblinded, pragmatic, cluster-crossover trial being conducted in the emergency department (ED) and medical ICU at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. PILOT compares use of a lower SpO2 target (target 90% and goal range: 88%-92%), an intermediate SpO2 target (target 94% and goal range: 92%-96%) and a higher SpO2 target (target 98% and goal range: 96%-100%). The study units are assigned to a single SpO2 target (cluster-level allocation) for each 2-month study block, and the assigned SpO2 target switches every 2 months in a randomly generated sequence (cluster-level crossover). The primary outcome is ventilator-free days (VFDs) to study day 28, defined as the number of days alive and free of invasive mechanical ventilation from the final receipt of invasive mechanical ventilation through 28 days after enrolment. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The trial was approved by the Vanderbilt Institutional Review Board. The results will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at one or more scientific conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER The trial protocol was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov on 25 May 2018 prior to initiation of patient enrolment (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03537937).

Perceptions of Hyperoxemia and Conservative Oxygen Therapy in the Management of Acute Respiratory Failure. Ann Am Thorac Soc 2021; 18:1369-1379.

Abstract
Rationale: Mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are often managed to maximize oxygenation, yet hyperoxemia may be deleterious to some. Little is known about how ICU providers weigh tradeoffs between hypoxemia and hyperoxemia when managing acute respiratory failure. Objectives: To define ICU providers' mental models for managing oxygenation for patients with acute respiratory failure and identify barriers and facilitators to conservative oxygen therapy. Methods: In two large U.S. tertiary care hospitals, we performed semistructured interviews with a purposive sample of ICU nurses, respiratory therapists, and physicians. We assessed perceptions of oxygenation management, hyperoxemia, and conservative oxygen therapies through interviews, which we audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. We analyzed transcripts for representative themes using an iterative thematic-analysis approach. Results: We interviewed 10 nurses, 10 respiratory therapists, 4 fellows, and 5 attending physicians before reaching thematic saturation. Major themes included perceptions of hyperoxemia, attitudes toward conservative oxygen therapy, and aspects of titrated-oxygen-therapy implementation. Many providers did not recognize the term "hyperoxemia," whereas others described a poor understanding; several stated they never encounter hyperoxemia clinically. Concerns about hyperoxemia varied: some providers believed that typical ventilation strategies emphasizing progressive lowering of the fraction of inspired oxygen mitigated worries about excess oxygen administration, whereas others maintained that hyperoxemia is harmful only to patients with chronic lung disease. Almost all interviewees expressed familiarity with lower oxygen saturations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Cited barriers to conservative oxygen therapy included concerns about hypoxemia, particularly among nurses and respiratory therapists; perceptions that hyperoxemia is not harmful; and a lack of clear evidence supporting conservative oxygen therapy. Interviewees suggested that interprofessional education and convincing clinical trial evidence could facilitate uptake of conservative oxygenation. Conclusions: This study describes attitudes toward hyperoxemia and conservative oxygen therapy. These preferences and uncertain benefits and risks of conservative oxygen therapy should be considered during future implementation efforts. Successful oxygen therapy implementation most likely will require 1) improving awareness of hyperoxemia's effects, 2) normalizing lower saturations in patients without chronic lung disease, 3) addressing ingrained beliefs regarding oxygen management and oxygen's safety, and 4) using interprofessional education to obtain buy-in across providers and inform the ICU team.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Avoidance of hypoxia and hyperoxia may reduce morbidity and mortality in critically ill civilian and military trauma patients. The objective of this study was to determine if a multimodal quality improvement intervention increases adherence to a consensus-based, targeted normoxia strategy. We hypothesized that this intervention would safely improve compliance with targeted normoxia. METHODS This is a pre/postquasiexperimental pilot study to improve adherence to normoxia, defined as a pulse oximetry (SpO2) of 90% to 96% or an arterial partial pressure oxygen (PaO2) of 60 to 100 mm Hg. We used a multimodal informatics and educational intervention guiding clinicians to safely titrate supplemental oxygen to normoxia based on SpO2 monitoring in critically ill trauma patients admitted to the surgical-trauma or neurosurgical intensive care unit within 24 hours of emergency department arrival. The primary outcome was effectiveness in delivering targeted normoxia (i.e., an increase in the probability of being in the targeted normoxia range and/or a reduction in the probability of being on a higher fraction-inspired oxygen concentration [FiO2]). RESULTS Analysis included 371 preintervention subjects and 201 postintervention subjects. Preintervention and postintervention subjects were of similar age, race/ethnicity, and sex and had similar comorbidities and Acute Physiologic and Chronic Health Evaluation II scores. Overall, the adjusted probability of being hyperoxic while on supplemental oxygen was reduced during the postintervention period (adjusted odds ratio, 0.74; 95% confidence interval, 0.57-0.97). There was a higher probability of being on room air (FiO2, 0.21) in the postintervention period (adjusted odds ratio, 1.38; 95% confidence interval, 0.83-2.30). In addition, there was a decreased amount of patient time spent on higher levels of FiO2 (FiO2, >40%) without a concomitant increase in hypoxia. CONCLUSION A multimodal intervention targeting normoxia in critically ill trauma patients increased normoxia and lowered the use of supplemental oxygen. A large clinical trial is needed to validate the impact of this protocol on patient-centered clinical outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic/care management, level II.

Abstract
Multiple studies among adults have suggested a non-linear relationship between arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and clinical outcomes. Meta-analyses in this population suggest that high levels of supplemental oxygen resulting in hyperoxia are associated with mortality. This mini-review focuses on the non-neonatal pediatric literature examining the relationship between PaO2 and mortality. While only one pilot pediatric randomized-controlled trials exists, over the past decade, there have been at least eleven observational studies examining the relationship between PaO2 values and mortality in critically ill children. These analyses of mixed-case pediatric ICU populations have generally reported a parabolic (“u-shaped”) relationship between PaO2 and mortality, similar to that seen in the adult literature. However, the estimates of the point at which hyperoxemia becomes deleterious have varied widely (300–550 mmHg). Where attempted, this effect has been robust to analyses restricted to the first PaO2 value obtained, those obtained within 24 h of admission, anytime during admission, and the number of hyperoxemic blood gases over time. These findings have also been noted when using various methods of risk-adjustment (accounting for severity of illness scores or complex chronic conditions). Similar relationships were found in the majority of studies restricted to patients undergoing care after cardiac arrest. Taken together, the majority of the literature suggests that there is a robust parabolic relationship between PaO2 and risk-adjusted pediatric ICU mortality, but that the exact threshold at which hyperoxemia becomes deleterious is unclear, and likely beyond the typical target value for most clinical indications. Findings suggest that clinicians should remain judicious and thoughtful in the use of supplemental oxygen therapy in critically ill children.

Abstract
Clinical reports suggest a high incidence of ICU mortality with the use of hyperoxia during mechanical ventilation in patients. Our laboratory is pioneer in studying effect of hyperoxia on cardiac pathophysiology. In this study for the first time, we are reporting the sequence of cardiac pathophysiological events in mice under hyperoxic conditions in time-dependent manner. C57BL/6J male mice, aged 8-10 weeks, were treated with either normal air or >90% oxygen for 24, 48, and 72 h. Following normal air or hyperoxia treatment, physical, biochemical, functional, electrical, and molecular parameters were analyzed. Our data showed that significant reduction of body weight observed as early as 24 h hyperoxia treatment, whereas, no significant changes in heart weight until 72 h. Although we do not see any fibrosis in these hearts, but observed significant increase in cardiomyocyte size with hyperoxia treatment in time-dependent manner. Our data also demonstrated that arrhythmias were present in mice at 24 h hyperoxia, and worsened comparatively after 48 and 72 h. Echocardiogram data confirmed cardiac dysfunction in time-dependent manner. Dysregulation of ion channels such as Kv4.2 and KChIP2; and serum cardiac markers confirmed that hyperoxia-induced effects worsen with each time point. From these observations, it is evident that electrical remodeling precedes structural remodeling, both of which gets worse with length of hyperoxia exposure, therefore shorter periods of hyperoxia exposure is always beneficial for better outcome in ICU/critical care units.

[PMID: 33622528 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjms.2020.12.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2020] [Revised: 10/07/2020] [Accepted: 12/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Liberal oxygen therapy might increase the mortality rate of patients. Non-rebreathing masks (NRM) are a high-flow, non-invasive oxygen device that can provide oxygen concentration up to 95%. This study aimed to determine the impact of using NRM in patients with respiratory failure. METHODS This retrospective cohort study was conducted in four medical institutions in Taiwan from January 2010 to December 2016. The association between mortality and NRM use before receiving ventilator support in patients with respiratory failure in the emergency department was analyzed. Patients were divided into the NRM treatment and no NRM treatment groups. A 1:4 propensity score matching was conducted. Regarding the duration of NRM use, treatments were grouped as 0 h, 0-1 h, 1-2 h, and >2 h. RESULTS A total of 18,749 patients were included, with 1074 using NRM. After propensity score matching, 1028 patients using NRM (0-1 h: 508, 1-2 h: 193, and >2 h: 327) and 4112 patients not using NRM were analyzed. The 30-day mortality rates were 29.1%, 28.5%, 27.5%, and 35.5% in the 0 h, 0-1 h, 1-2 h, and >2 h treatment groups, respectively. Patients with respiratory failure due to pulmonary disease using NRM over 2 h had a higher mortality rate than patients not using NRM (hazard ratio: 1.3, 95% CI: 1.01-1.66). CONCLUSIONS Prolonged use of NRM in patients with respiratory failure due to pulmonary disease possibly increases mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the still sparse literature in China, the investigation of hyperoxemia management is required. Thus, we aim to conduct a retrospective study to provide more information about hyperoxemia management in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. METHODS We retrospectively screened the medical records of adult patients (age ≥18 years) who required mechanical ventilation (MV) ≥24 hours from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2018. All arterial blood gas (ABG) tested during MV was retrieved, and MV settings were recorded. The median arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) >120 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) was defined as mild to moderate hyperoxemia, and PaO2 >300 mmHg as extreme hyperoxemia. Intensivists' response to hyperoxemia was assessed based on the reduction of fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) within one hour after hyperoxemia was recorded. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the independent factors associated with the intensivists' response to hyperoxemia. RESULTS A total of 592 patients were finally analyzed. The median Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score was 21 (15-26). The PaO2, arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), FiO2, and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) were 96.4 (74.0-126.0) mmHg, 97.8% (95.2%-99.1%), 0.4 (0.4-0.5), and 5 (3-6) cmH2O, respectively. Totally 174 (29.39%) patients had PaO2 >120 mmHg, and 19 (3.21%) patients had extreme hyperoxemia at PaO2 >300 mmHg. In cases of mild to moderate hyperoxemia with FiO2 ≤0.4, only 13 (2.20%) patients had a decrease in FiO2 within one hour. The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that a positive response was independently associated with FiO2 (odds ratio [OR] 1.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06-1.12, P<0.001), PaO2 (OR 1.01, 95% CI 1.00-1.01, P=0.002), and working shifts (OR 5.09, 95% CI 1.87-13.80, P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS Hyperoxemia occurs frequently and is neglected in most cases, particularly when mild to moderate hyperoxemia, hyperoxemia with lower FiO2, hyperoxemia during night and middle-night shifts, or FiO2 less likely to be decreased. Patients may be at a risk of oxygen toxicity because of the liberal oxygen strategy. Therefore, further research is needed to improve oxygen management for patients with MV in the ICUs.

Abstract
Background Management of hypoxemia in patients with severe COVID-19 respiratory failure is based on the guideline recommendations for specific SpO2 targets. However, limited data exist on systemic O2 utilization. The objective of this study was to examine systemic O2 utilization in a case series of patients with this disease. Patients and methods Between March 24, and April 9, 2020, 8 patients intubated for severe COVID-19 respiratory failure had near-simultaneous drawing of arterial blood gas (ABG), central venous blood gas (cVBG), and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) at a mean of 6.1 days into hospitalization. Three patients were managed with indirect cardiac output (CO) monitoring by FloTrac sensor and Vigileo monitor (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA). The oxygen extraction index (OEI; SaO2-ScvO2/SaO2) and oxygen extraction fraction (OEF; CaO2-CvO2/CaO2 ≥ 100) were calculated. Values for hyperoxia (ScvO2 ≥ 90%), normoxia (ScvO2 71-89%), and hypoxia (ScvO2 ≤ 70%) were based on the literature. Mean values were calculated. Results The mean partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) was 102 with a mean fraction of inspired O2 (FiO2) of 44%. One patient was hyperoxic with a reduced OEI (17%). Five patients were normoxic, but 2 had a reduced OEF (mean 15.9%). Two patients were hypoxic but had increased systemic O2 utilization based on OEF or OEI. Conclusion In select patients with severe COVID-19 respiratory failure, O2 delivery (DO2) was found to exceed O2 utilization. SpO2 targets based on systemic O2 utilization may help in reducing oxygen toxicity, especially in the absence of anaerobic metabolism. Further data are needed on the prevalence of systemic O2 utilization in COVID-19. How to cite this article Garg RK, Kimbrough T, Lodhi W, DaSilva I.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Providing supplemental oxygen is common in the management of critically ill patients, yet the optimal oxygen regimen remains unclear. OBJECTIVES To explore the optimal range of PaO2 in critically ill patients. METHODS This is a retrospective study conducted in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database. The patients with a least 48 h of oxygen therapy were included. Nonlinear regression was used to analyze the association between PaO2 and mortality. We derived an optimal range of PaO2 and evaluated the association between the proportion of PaO2 measurements within this range and mortality. RESULTS In total, 8401 patients were included in the study. A J-shaped relationship was observed between median PaO2 and hospital mortality. Compared with the reference group of 100-120 mmHg, patients with values of 80-100 mmHg and 120-140 mmHg had higher hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.23; 95% CI, 1.05-1.43 and 1.29; 95%CI, 1.08-1.54, respectively). Similarly, mortality rates were significantly higher for PaO2 <80 mmHg and ≥140 mmHg (aOR, 1.97; 95%CI, 1.58-2.45 and 1.42; 95%CI, 1.19-1.69, respectively). Patients spent a greater proportion of time within 100-120 mmHg tended to have a lower mortality rate. CONCLUSION Among critically ill patients, the relationship between median PaO2 and hospital mortality was J-shaped. The lowest rates of mortality was observed in those with PaO2 levels within 100 to 120 mmHg.

Abstract
Background Supplemental oxygen is commonly administered to patients in acute care. It may cause harm when used inappropriately. Guidelines recommend prescription of acute oxygen, yet adherence is poor. We aimed to identify barriers and facilitators to practicing in accordance with the evidence-based Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand (TSANZ) oxygen guideline, and to determine the beliefs and attitudes relating to acute oxygen therapy. Methods A national cross-sectional survey was conducted. The survey consisted of 3 sections: (1) introduction and participant characteristics; (2) opinion/beliefs, knowledge and actions about oxygen therapy and other drugs; and (3) barriers and facilitators to use of the TSANZ guideline. Convenience sampling was employed. A paper-based survey was distributed at the TSANZ Annual Scientific Meeting. An online survey was emailed to the TSANZ membership and to John Hunter Hospital's clinical staff. Results Responses were received from 133 clinicians: 52.6% nurses, 30.1% doctors, and 17.3% other clinicians. Over a third (37.7%) were unaware/unsure of the oxygen guideline's existence. Most (79.8%) believe that oxygen is a drug and should be treated as one. Most (92.4%) stated they only administered it based on clinical need. For four hypothetical cases, there was only one where the majority of participants identified the optimal oxygen saturation. A number of barriers and facilitators were identified when asked about practicing in accordance with the TSANZ guideline. Lack of oxygen equipment, getting doctors to prescribe oxygen and oxygen being treated differently to other drugs were seen as barriers. The guideline itself and multiple clinician characteristics were considered facilitators. Conclusion There is discordance between clinicians' beliefs and actions regarding the administration of oxygen therapy and knowledge gaps about optimal oxygen therapy in acute care. Identified barriers and facilitators should be considered when developing evidence-based guidelines to improve dissemination and knowledge exchange.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperoxemia has been associated with increased mortality in critically ill patients, but little is known about its effect in trauma patients. The objective of this study was to assess the association between early hyperoxemia and in-hospital mortality after severe trauma. We hypothesized that a PaO2 ≥ 150 mmHg on admission was associated with increased in-hospital mortality. METHODS Using data issued from a multicenter prospective trauma registry in France, we included trauma patients managed by the emergency medical services between May 2016 and March 2019 and admitted to a level I trauma center. Early hyperoxemia was defined as an arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) above 150 mmHg measured on hospital admission. In-hospital mortality was compared between normoxemic (150 > PaO2 ≥ 60 mmHg) and hyperoxemic patients using a propensity-score model with predetermined variables (gender, age, prehospital heart rate and systolic blood pressure, temperature, hemoglobin and arterial lactate, use of mechanical ventilation, presence of traumatic brain injury (TBI), initial Glasgow Coma Scale score, Injury Severity Score (ISS), American Society of Anesthesiologists physical health class > I, and presence of hemorrhagic shock). RESULTS A total of 5912 patients were analyzed. The median age was 39 [26-55] years and 78% were male. More than half (53%) of the patients had an ISS above 15, and 32% had traumatic brain injury. On univariate analysis, the in-hospital mortality was higher in hyperoxemic patients compared to normoxemic patients (12% versus 9%, p < 0.0001). However, after propensity score matching, we found a significantly lower in-hospital mortality in hyperoxemic patients compared to normoxemic patients (OR 0.59 [0.50-0.70], p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION In this large observational study, early hyperoxemia in trauma patients was associated with reduced adjusted in-hospital mortality. This result contrasts the unadjusted in-hospital mortality as well as numerous other findings reported in acutely and critically ill patients. The study calls for a randomized clinical trial to further investigate this association.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with respiratory failure are usually mechanically ventilated, mostly with fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) > 0.21. Minimizing FiO2 is increasingly an accepted standard. In underserved nations and disasters, salvageable patients requiring mechanical ventilation may outstrip oxygen supplies. STUDY OBJECTIVE The hypothesis of the present study was that mechanical ventilation with FiO2 = 0.21 is feasible. This assumption was tested in an Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) model in pigs. METHODS Seventeen pigs were anesthetized, intubated, and mechanically ventilated with FiO2 = 0.4 and Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) of 5cmH2O. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome was induced by intravenous (IV) oleic acid (OA) infusion, and FiO2 was reduced to 0.21 after 45 minutes of stable moderate ARDS. If peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) decreased below 80%, PEEP was increased gradually until maximum 20cmH2O, then inspiratory time elevated from one second to 1.4 seconds. RESULTS Animals developed moderate ARDS (mean partial pressure of oxygen [PaO2]/FiO2 = 162.8, peak and mean inspiratory pressures doubled, and lung compliance decreased). The SpO2 decreased to <80% rapidly after FiO2 was decreased to 0.21. In 14/17 animals, increasing PEEP sufficed to maintain SpO2 > 80%. Only in 3/17 animals, elevation of FiO2 to 0.25 after PEEP reached 20cmH2O was needed to maintain SpO2 > 80%. Animals remained hemodynamically stable until euthanasia one hour later. CONCLUSIONS In a pig model of moderate ARDS, mechanical ventilation with room air was feasible in 14/17 animals by elevating PEEP. These results in animal model support the potential feasibility of lowering FiO2 to 0.21 in some ARDS patients. The present study was conceived to address the ethical and practical paradigm of mechanical ventilation in disasters and underserved areas, which assumes that oxygen is mandatory in respiratory failure and is therefore a rate-limiting factor in care capacity allocation. Further studies are needed before paradigm changes are considered.

Abstract
Oxygen is the most commonly used drug in emergency medicine. The aim of this study was to identify healthcare professionals’ preferences regarding oxygen therapy in common medical emergencies. An online 9-part-questionnaire was distributed through Facebook to doctors and nurses working in Greek hospitals. The questionnaire included background information of the respondents and addressed individual preferences regarding best oxygenation parameter and oxygen targets in specific acute settings. We received 678 responses and we included 663 in our analysis. We found significant differences between doctors’ and nurses’ attitudes towards oxygenation targets in ARDS, sepsis, acute coronary syndrome, and post cardiac-arrest patients. Nurses preferred a more conservative oxygen strategy compared to doctors. Furthermore, nurses favor SaO2 as the best oxygenation parameter, while doctors prefer PaO2. In our survey, the type of hospital and department of the respondents did not affect the preferred oxygen strategy. Social media-based survey research is feasible and effective. In this single country study, doctors showed a tendency to liberally administer oxygen in acutely ill medical patients. On the other hand, Greek nurses preferred a more conservative approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No solid evidence exists on optimal oxygenation targets in intensive care patients. The handling oxygenation targets in the intensive care unit (HOT-ICU) trial assesses the effects of a targeted arterial oxygen tension of 8 vs 12 kPa on 90-day mortality in acutely admitted adult patients with hypoxaemic respiratory failure. This article describes the detailed statistical analysis plan for the predefined outcomes and supplementary analyses in the HOT-ICU trial. METHODS The trial will include 2928 patients to be able to detect or reject a true 20% relative risk reduction in the primary outcome of 90-day all-cause mortality with an α of 5% and a β of 10%. Analyses of the primary and secondary outcomes will be conducted according to the intention-to-treat principle and adjusted for stratification variables. The primary outcome and dichotomous secondary outcomes will be analysed using a generalised linear model with a log-link and binomial error distribution. For the primary outcome, a 95% confidence interval (CI) not including 1.00 for the risk ratio will be considered statistically significant. Continuous secondary outcomes will be analysed using a generalised linear model or nonparametric test. CIs adjusted for the multiple secondary outcomes not including the null effect will be considered statistically significant. One planned interim analysis has been conducted. CONCLUSIONS The HOT-ICU trial and the pre-planned statistical analyses are designed to minimise bias and produce high quality data on the effects of a lower vs a higher oxygenation target throughout ICU admission in acutely admitted adult patients with hypoxaemic respiratory failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine current management of critically ill children and gather views regarding high flow nasal cannula therapy and to evaluate research priorities for a large prospective randomized controlled trial of noninvasive respiratory support in children. DESIGN Multinational cross-sectional questionnaire survey conducted in 2018. SETTING The sample included pediatric intensive care physicians in North and South America, Asia, Europe, and Australia/New Zealand. MEASUREMENT Questions consisted of: 1) characteristics of intensivists and hospital, 2) practice of high flow nasal cannula, 3) supportive treatment, and 4) research of high flow nasal cannula. INTERVENTIONS None. MAIN RESULTS We collected data from 1,031 respondents; 919 (North America, 215; Australia/New Zealand, 34; Asia, 203; South America, 186; Europe, 281) were analyzed. Sixty-nine percent of the respondents used high flow nasal cannula in non-PICU settings in their institutions. For a case of bronchiolitis/pneumonia infant, 2 L/kg/min of initial flow rate was the most commonly used. For a scenario of pneumonia with 30 kg weight, more than 60% of the respondents initiated flow based on patient body weight; while, 18% applied a fixed flow rate. Noninvasive ventilation was considered as a next step in more than 85% of respondents when the patient is failing with high flow nasal cannula. Significant practice variations were observed in clinical practice markers used, flow weaning strategy, and supportive practices. Views comparing high flow nasal cannula to continuous positive airway pressure also noticeably varied across the respondents. CONCLUSIONS Significant practice variations including views of high flow nasal cannula compared to continuous positive airway pressure was found among pediatric intensive care physicians. To expedite establishment and standardization of high flow nasal cannula practice, research aimed at understanding the heterogeneity found in this study should be undertaken.

Abstract
Background Concerns exist regarding the prevalence and impact of unnecessary oxygen use in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We examined this issue in patients with ARDS enrolled in the Large observational study to UNderstand the Global impact of Severe Acute respiratory FailurE (LUNG SAFE) study. Methods In this secondary analysis of the LUNG SAFE study, we wished to determine the prevalence and the outcomes associated with hyperoxemia on day 1, sustained hyperoxemia, and excessive oxygen use in patients with early ARDS. Patients who fulfilled criteria of ARDS on day 1 and day 2 of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure were categorized based on the presence of hyperoxemia (PaO2 > 100 mmHg) on day 1, sustained (i.e., present on day 1 and day 2) hyperoxemia, or excessive oxygen use (FIO2 ≥ 0.60 during hyperoxemia). Results Of 2005 patients that met the inclusion criteria, 131 (6.5%) were hypoxemic (PaO2 < 55 mmHg), 607 (30%) had hyperoxemia on day 1, and 250 (12%) had sustained hyperoxemia. Excess FIO2 use occurred in 400 (66%) out of 607 patients with hyperoxemia. Excess FIO2 use decreased from day 1 to day 2 of ARDS, with most hyperoxemic patients on day 2 receiving relatively low FIO2. Multivariate analyses found no independent relationship between day 1 hyperoxemia, sustained hyperoxemia, or excess FIO2 use and adverse clinical outcomes. Mortality was 42% in patients with excess FIO2 use, compared to 39% in a propensity-matched sample of normoxemic (PaO2 55–100 mmHg) patients (P = 0.47). Conclusions Hyperoxemia and excess oxygen use are both prevalent in early ARDS but are most often non-sustained. No relationship was found between hyperoxemia or excessive oxygen use and patient outcome in this cohort. Trial registration LUNG-SAFE is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02010073

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients who are undergoing mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) often receive a high fraction of inspired oxygen (Fio2) and have a high arterial oxygen tension. The conservative use of oxygen may reduce oxygen exposure, diminish lung and systemic oxidative injury, and thereby increase the number of ventilator-free days (days alive and free from mechanical ventilation). METHODS We randomly assigned 1000 adult patients who were anticipated to require mechanical ventilation beyond the day after recruitment in the ICU to receive conservative or usual oxygen therapy. In the two groups, the default lower limit for oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry (Spo2) was 90%. In the conservative-oxygen group, the upper limit of the Spo2 alarm was set to sound when the level reached 97%, and the Fio2 was decreased to 0.21 if the Spo2 was above the acceptable lower limit. In the usual-oxygen group, there were no specific measures limiting the Fio2 or the Spo2. The primary outcome was the number of ventilator-free days from randomization until day 28. RESULTS The number of ventilator-free days did not differ significantly between the conservative-oxygen group and the usual-oxygen group, with a median duration of 21.3 days (interquartile range, 0 to 26.3) and 22.1 days (interquartile range, 0 to 26.2), respectively, for an absolute difference of -0.3 days (95% confidence interval [CI], -2.1 to 1.6; P = 0.80). The conservative-oxygen group spent more time in the ICU with an Fio2 of 0.21 than the usual-oxygen group, with a median duration of 29 hours (interquartile range, 5 to 78) and 1 hour (interquartile range, 0 to 17), respectively (absolute difference, 28 hours; 95% CI, 22 to 34); the conservative-oxygen group spent less time with an Spo2 exceeding 96%, with a duration of 27 hours (interquartile range, 11 to 63.5) and 49 hours (interquartile range, 22 to 112), respectively (absolute difference, 22 hours; 95% CI, 14 to 30). At 180 days, mortality was 35.7% in the conservative-oxygen group and 34.5% in the usual-oxygen group, for an unadjusted odds ratio of 1.05 (95% CI, 0.81 to 1.37). CONCLUSIONS In adults undergoing mechanical ventilation in the ICU, the use of conservative oxygen therapy, as compared with usual oxygen therapy, did not significantly affect the number of ventilator-free days.

Abstract
Background Iatrogenic hyperoxaemia is common on critical care units and has been associated with increased mortality. We commenced a quality improvement pilot study to analyse the views and practice of critical care staff regarding oxygen therapy and to change practice to ensure that all patients have a prescribed target oxygen saturation range. Methods A baseline measurement of oxygen target range prescribing was undertaken alongside a survey of staff attitudes. We then commenced a programme of change, widely promoting an agreed oxygen target range prescribing policy. The analyses of target range prescribing and staff survey were repeated four to five months later. Results Thirty-three staff members completed the baseline survey, compared to 29 in the follow-up survey. There was no discernible change in staff attitudes towards oxygen target range prescribing. Fifty-four patients were included in the baseline survey and 124 patients were assessed post implementation of changes. The proportion of patients with an oxygen prescription with a target range improved from 85% to 95% (χ2 = 5.17, p = 0.02) and the proportion of patients with an appropriate prescribed target saturation range increased from 85% to 91% (χ2 = 1.4, p = 0.24). The improvement in target range prescribing was maintained at 96% 12 months later. Conclusions The introduction and promotion of a structured protocol for oxygen prescribing were associated with a sustained increase in the proportion of patients with a prescribed oxygen target range on this unit.

Aust Crit Care 2019; 33:343-349.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Administration of supplemental oxygen is widely used in the management of critically ill patients; however, there is evidence that excessive supplemental oxygen exposure is associated with increased mortality. There is limited research evaluating what factors clinicians take into consideration when managing oxygenation in critically ill adults. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to explore intensive care unit (ICU) clinicians' experience and decision-making when managing supplemental oxygen therapy in mechanically ventilated patients in a regional intensive care unit. METHODS A multiple-methods observational study that included (i) a cross-sectional ICU staff survey and (ii) focus group discussions with critical care nurses was conducted. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise the key outcomes of the staff survey. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the focus group discussions and open-ended questions on the staff survey. The staff survey was completed by 49 ICU clinicians, and 11 critical care nurses participated in the two focus group discussions. RESULTS Survey data showed that staff acknowledged the problem of excessive oxygen exposure; 79.6% (n = 39) reported that the minimum acceptable fraction of inspired oxygen for mechanically ventilated patients was 0.3. The majority (89.8%, n = 44) reported that there was an interdisciplinary approach to decision-making in the unit. Two major themes were chosen from the focus group discussions and staff survey data: (i) Decision-making is based on unit culture rather than evidence and (ii) the process of weaning is driven by interdisciplinary team collaboration. Participants acknowledged that there needed to be a culture change from a liberal approach to oxygen therapy. CONCLUSIONS Although participants acknowledged the adverse consequences of excessive oxygen use, achieving oxygenation targets with the minimum level of supplemental oxygen was not a key focus of care. The findings highlight the need to develop and evaluate evidence-based protocols to support a conservative approach to supplemental oxygen management.

Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2019; 63:956-965. [PMID: 30883686 DOI: 10.1111/aas.13356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2018] [Revised: 01/22/2019] [Accepted: 02/04/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acutely ill adults with hypoxaemic respiratory failure are at risk of life-threatening hypoxia, and thus oxygen is often administered liberally. Excessive oxygen use may, however, increase the number of serious adverse events, including death. Establishing the optimal oxygenation level is important as existing evidence is of low quality. We hypothesise that targeting an arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2 ) of 8 kPa is superior to targeting a PaO2 of 12 kPa in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure. METHODS The Handling Oxygenation Targets in the ICU (HOT-ICU) trial is an outcome assessment blinded, multicentre, randomised, parallel-group trial targeting PaO2 in acutely ill adults with hypoxaemic respiratory failure within 12 hours after ICU admission. Patients are randomised 1:1 to one of the two PaO2 targets throughout ICU stay until a maximum of 90 days. The primary outcome is 90-day mortality. Secondary outcomes are serious adverse events in the ICU, days alive without organ support and days alive out of hospital in the 90-day period; mortality, health-related quality-of-life at 1-year follow-up as well as 1-year cognitive and pulmonary function in a subgroup; and an overall health economic analysis. To detect or reject a 20% relative risk reduction, we aim to include 2928 patients. An interim analysis is planned after 90-day follow-up of 1464 patients. CONCLUSION The HOT-ICU trial will test the hypothesis that a lower oxygenation target reduces 90-day mortality compared with a higher oxygenation target in adult ICU patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure.
