Cerebral Hypoperfusion Detection with Dynamic Hyperoxia Test
In a heterogeneous population of acute brain-injured patients, cerebral multimodal monitoring with intracranial pressure (ICP) and brain tissue oxygen pressure (PbtO2) detected regional cerebral hypoperfusion with a higher... read more
Hyperoxia in the Critically Ill
Critically ill patients come to the ED all the time and it is almost reflexive to liberally administer oxygen in these acutely ill patients. Many providers may consider supplemental oxygen a harmless and potentially beneficial... read more
Oxygen Treatment in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine
Hypoxemia should certainly be avoided, but the fact that the liberal administration of oxygen to patients in intensive care units and emergency rooms tends to increase morbidity and mortality implies the advisability of a... read more
Emergency Department Hyperoxia Associated with Increased Mortality in Mechanically Ventilated Patients
Emergency Department exposure to hyperoxia is common and associated with increased mortality in mechanically ventilated patients achieving normoxia after admission. This suggests that hyperoxia in the immediate post-intubation... read more
The EXACT Protocol
The EXACT protocol: a multi-centre, single-blind, randomised, parallel-group, controlled trial to determine whether early oxygen titration improves survival to hospital discharge in adult OHCA patients. This study will determine... read more
Hyperoxia and Hypocapnia During Pediatric ECMO
Hyperoxia is common during pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and associated with mortality. Hypocapnia appears to occur less often and although associated with complications, an association with mortality... read more
Intraoperative Oxidative Stress Associated With Postoperative Delirium
Intraoperative oxidative stress is associated with postoperative delirium in ICU patients after cardiac surgery, a study has found. Researchers from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, in Nashville, Tenn., came to this... read more
