Background The clinical efficiency of routine oxygen therapy is uncertain in patients with
acute heart failure (AHF) who do not have hypoxemia. The aim of this study was to …

Providing supplemental oxygen to hospitalized adults is a frequent practice and can be
administered via a variety of devices. Oxygen therapy has evolved over the years, and …

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 …

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy and safety of conservative and conventional oxygen
therapy in critically ill patients. METHODS: Relevant literature and randomized controlled …

Background Supplemental oxygen therapy is central to the treatment of acute hypoxaemic
respiratory failure, a condition which remains a major driver for morbidity and mortality in …

Objective To compare the effects of conservative oxygen therapy and conventional oxygen
therapy on the efficacy and prognosis of mechanical ventilation support in patients with …

Objectives: To assess the feasibility and safety of a conservative approach to oxygen
therapy in mechanically ventilated ICU patients. Design: Pilot prospective before-and-after …

Background In critically ill patients, hypoxaemia is a common clinical manifestation of
inadequate gas exchange in the lungs. Supplemental oxygen is therefore given to all …

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 …

Abstract Background In the ICU, SpO 2≥ 96% are regularly targeted implying that more
oxygen may be given than desirable. To reduce exposure to hyperoxia a conservative …
