Conservative or liberal oxygen targets in patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Abstract
PurposePatients receiving venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) frequently develop arterial hyperoxaemia, which may be harmful. However, lower oxygen saturation targets may also lead to harmful episodes of hypoxaemia.MethodsIn this registry-embedded, multicentre trial, we randomly assigned adult patients receiving VA-ECMO in an intensive care unit (ICU) to either a conservative (target SaO2 92–96%) or to a liberal oxygen …
