Association Between Hyperoxia, Supplemental Oxygen, and Mortality in Critically Injured Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Hyperoxia is common among critically ill patients and may increase morbidity and mortality. However, limited evidence exists for critically injured patients. The objective of this study was to determine the association between hyperoxia and in-hospital mortality in adult trauma patients requiring ICU admission.

Design setting and participants

This multicenter, retrospective cohort study was conducted at two level I trauma centers and one level II trauma center in CO between October 2015 and June 2018. All adult trauma patients requiring ICU admission within 24 hours of emergency department arrival were eligible. The primary exposure was oxygenation during the first 7 days of hospitalization.
