ABSTRACT: Introduction
Administering supplemental oxygen to prevent hypoxaemia is a fundamental treatment for patients hospitalised with acute injury or illness. However, the amount of oxygen administered frequently exceeds that needed to maintain normoxaemia, causing patients to experience hyperoxaemia and wasting supplemental oxygen. Closed-loop, autonomous oxygen titration systems are designed to optimise oxygen delivery by administering the lowest possible oxygen flow that maintains peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO₂) within a predefined range. For adults hospitalised with an acute injury or illness, it remains uncertain whether the use of a closed-loop, autonomous oxygen titration system safely increases the proportion of time spent in normoxaemia (SpO2 90%-96%) compared with
