Initial use of supplementary oxygen for trauma patients: A systematic review
BMJ Open Jul 13, 2018
Eskesen TG, et al. - A systematic review was conducted to identify and summarise the evidence for supplementary oxygen for spontaneously breathing trauma patients and for high (0.60–0.90) vs low (0.30–0.50) inspiratory oxygen fraction (FiO2) for intubated trauma patients in the initial phase of treatment. Sixty-eight trauma subjects were randomised to receive an FiO2 of 0.80 (intervention group) or 0.50 (control group) during mechanical ventilation (first 6 hours). Researchers reported that evidence for the use of supplementary oxygen for spontaneously breathing trauma patients was lacking. In addition, the evidence for low vs high FiO2 for intubated trauma patients was limited.
