Educational Pearls:
- Recent study looked at mechanically ventilated patients in ED and ICU to determine if O2 saturation level impacted patient outcomes
-
- 2541 patients randomized to one of three target O2 saturation levels
-
- Low: 90% (Range: 88-92%)
- Intermediate: 94% (Range: 92-96%)
- High: 98% (Range: 96-100%)
- Outcome indicators
-
- Primary: Number of days alive and ventilator free by day 28 of hospital admission
- Secondary: Mortality at 28 days
- No significant difference was seen for either primary or secondary outcomes between all three groups at 28 days
- This study shows that the target oxygenation level is not likely to significantly impact outcomes in mechanically ventilated patients in the ED
