Oxygen targets in the intensive care unit during mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory distress syndrome: a rapid review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Supplemental oxygen is frequently administered to patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), including ARDS secondary to viral illness such as coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19). An up-to-date understanding of how best to target this therapy (e.g. arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂) or peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO₂) aim) in these patients is urgently required.

Objectives

To address how oxygen therapy should be targeted in adults with ARDS (particularly ARDS secondary to COVID-19 or other respiratory viruses) and requiring mechanical ventilation in an intensive care unit, and the impact oxygen therapy has on mortality, days ventilated, days of catecholamine use, requirement for renal replacement therapy, and quality o
