Filter by:Victims of trauma are often healthy individuals prior to the incident, but acquire numerous complications including sepsis and pulmonary complications and diminished quality of life after trauma. According to Advanced Trauma Life Support guidelines, all severely injured trauma patients should receive supplemental oxygen. The objective of TRAUMOX2 is to compare the effect of a restrictive versus liberal oxygen strategy the first eight hours following trauma on the incidence of 30-day mortality and/or major respiratory complications (pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome) within 30 days (combined primary endpoint).
Patients with COVID-19 and hypoxaemic respiratory failure and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) are treated with supplementary oxygen as a standard. However, quality of quantity evidence regarding this practise is low. The aim of the HOT-COVID trial is to evaluate the benefits and harms of two targets of partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) in guiding the oxygen therapy in acutely ill adult COVID-19 patients with hypoxaemic respiratory failure at ICU admission.
During surgery high concentrations of supplementary oxygen are routinely administrated. However, there is increasing evidence of potential harm with liberal oxygen therapy. The hypothesis of the present study is that oxygen therapy adjusted to a normal arterial oxygen target is feasible and will attenuate the side effects of supplementary oxygen therapy. The study design is a before-and-after study in which 25 patients will follow the standard regime with high concentrations of oxygen therapy and 25 patients will be treated with oxygen to achieve a normal value of arterial oxygenation.
