Clinicians' response to hyperoxia in ventilated patients in a Dutch ICU depends on the level of FiO2.

TLDR
Hyperoxia is frequently seen but in most cases does not lead to adjustment of ventilator settings if FiO2 <0.41, implementation of guidelines concerning oxygen therapy should be improved and further research is needed concerning the effects of frequently encountered hyperoxia.
Abstract
Purpose Hyperoxia may induce pulmonary injury and may increase oxidative stress. In this retrospective database study we aimed to evaluate the response to hyperoxia by intensivists in a Dutch academic intensive care unit.

Effect of Conservative vs Conventional Oxygen Therapy on Mortality Among Patients in an Intensive Care Unit: The Oxygen-ICU Randomized Clinical Trial

TL;DR: Among critically ill patients with an ICU length of stay of 72 hours or longer, a conservative protocol for oxygen therapy vs conventional therapy resulted in lower ICU mortality and preliminary findings were based on unplanned early termination of the trial.

Arterial hyperoxia and mortality in critically ill patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: Hyperoxia may be associated with increased mortality in patients with stroke, traumatic brain injury and those resuscitated from cardiac arrest, but results are limited by significant heterogeneity between studies.

Association Between Arterial Hyperoxia and Outcome in Subsets of Critical Illness: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Meta-Regression of Cohort Studies.

TL;DR: In various subsets of critically ill patients, arterial hyperoxia was associated with poor hospital outcome, and more evidence is needed to provide optimal oxygen targets to critical care physicians.

Metrics of Arterial Hyperoxia and Associated Outcomes in Critical Care

TL;DR: The results suggest that the PaO2 levels of critically ill patients within a safe range, as the authors do with other physiologic variables, should be limited.

Ventilation with lower tidal volumes as compared with traditional tidal volumes for acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome.

TL;DR: In patients with acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome, mechanical ventilation with a lower tidal volume than is traditionally used results in decreased mortality and increases the number of days without ventilator use.

Open up the lung and keep the lung open.

TL;DR: Sj6strand's group, using an animal model of ARDS induced by surfactant depletion, applied five established ventilator modes, adjusting either volume or pressure at preset frequencies to keep end-expiratory alveolar pressure at about 16 cmH20 and PaCO2 constant (___4 kPa).

Comparison of the Spo2/Fio2 Ratio and the Pao2/Fio2 Ratio in Patients With Acute Lung Injury or ARDS

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the pulse oximetric saturation (Spo(2))/Fio(2) (S/F) ratio can be substituted for the P/F ratio in assessing the oxygenation criterion of ALI and ARDS.

Ventilator-associated lung injury

TL;DR: The effects of mechanical ventilation on injured lungs and the underlying mechanisms are outlined and modified so that VALI is kept to a minimum improves survival of patients with ARDS.

Pulmonary Oxygen Toxicity

TL;DR: No effective pharmacologic means exist for lessening pulmonary oxygen toxicity in humans and the pathologic changes of oxygen toxicity are not specific and resemble those of the adult respiratory distress syndrome.
