Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperoxemia, often overlooked in critically ill patients, is common and may have adverse consequences. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the incidence of hyperoxemia induced by oxygen therapy in nonsurgical critically ill patients at intensive care unit (ICU) admission and the association of hyperoxemia with hospital mortality. METHODS This prospective cohort study included all consecutive admissions of nonsurgical patients aged 18 years or older who received oxygen therapy on admission to the Hospital Santa Luzia Rede D'Or São Luiz adult ICU from July 2018 through June 2021. Patients were categorized into 3 groups according to Pao2 level at ICU admission: hypoxemia (Pao2<60 mm Hg), normoxemia (Pao2= 60-120 mm Hg), and hyperoxemia (Pao2 >120 mm Hg). RESULTS Among 3088 patients, hyperoxemia was present in 1174 (38.0%) and was independently associated with hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR], 1.32; 95% CI, 1.04-1.67; P=.02). Age (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.02-1.02; P<.001) and chronic kidney disease (OR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.02-2.36; P=.04) were associated with a higher rate of hyperoxemia. Factors associated with a lower rate of hyperoxemia were Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score (OR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.83-0.93; P<.001); late-night admission (OR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.67-0.96; P=.02); and renal/metabolic (OR, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.13-1.39; P<.001), neurologic (OR, 0.02; 95% CI, 0.01-0.05; P<.001), digestive (OR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.13-0.41; P<.001), and soft tissue/skin/orthopedic (OR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.13-0.79; P=.01) primary reasons for hospital admission. CONCLUSION Hyperoxemia induced by oxygen therapy was common in critically ill patients and was linked to increased risk of hospital mortality. Health care professionals should be aware of this condition because of its potential risks and unnecessary costs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Supraphysiological oxygen administration causes unfavourable clinical outcomes in various diseases. This study aimed to determine whether hyperoxia would be associated with increased mortality in patients with severe infection. METHODS A post-hoc analysis of a nationwide multicentre prospective observational study on sepsis (SPICE Study) was conducted, including adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit with available arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) at the treatment initiation for severe infection. Hyperoxia was defined as a PaO2 level of ≥300 mm Hg and in-hospital mortality was compared between patients with and without hyperoxia. RESULTS Of the 563 patients eligible for the study, 49 had hyperoxia at treatment initiation for severe infection. The in-hospital all-cause mortality rates of patients with and without hyperoxia were 14 (29.2%) and 90 (17.6%), respectively. Inverse probability weighting analyses with propensity scores revealed the association between hyperoxia and increased in-hospital mortality rate (28.8% vs 18.8%; adjusted OR 1.75 (1.03 to 2.97); p=0.038), adjusting for patient demographics, comorbidities, site of infection, severity of infection, haemodynamic and respiratory status, laboratory data and location of patient at infection development. Acute lung injury developed more frequently in patients with hyperoxia on the following days after infection treatment, whereas sepsis-related mortality was comparable regardless of hyperoxia exposure. CONCLUSION Hyperoxia with PaO2 ≥300 mm Hg at treatment initiation of severe infection was associated with an increased in-hospital mortality rate in patients requiring intensive care. The amount of oxygen to administer to patients with severe infection should be carefully determined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The detrimental effects of hyperoxia exposure have been well-described in patients admitted to intensive care units. However, data evaluating the effects of short-term, early hyperoxia exposure in patients intubated in the prehospital setting or emergency department (ED) have not been systematically reviewed. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to quantify and describe the existing literature examining the clinical outcomes in ED patients exposed to hyperoxia within the first 24 h of mechanical ventilation. METHODS This review was performed in concordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for scoping reviews. Two rounds of review using Rayyan QCRI software were performed for title and abstract screening and full-text search. Of the 2739 articles, 27 articles were retrieved after initial screening, of which 5 articles were excluded during the full-text screening, leaving 22 articles for final review and data extraction. RESULTS Of 22 selected publications, 9 described patients with traumatic brain injury, 6 with cardiac arrest, 3 with multisystem trauma, 1 with stroke, 2 with septic shock, and 1 was heterogeneous. Three studies were randomized controlled trials. The available data have widely heterogeneous definitions of hyperoxia exposure, outcomes, and included populations, limiting conclusions. CONCLUSIONS There is a paucity of data that examined the effects of severe hyperoxia exposure in the acute, post-intubation phase of the prehospital and ED settings. Further research with standardized definitions is needed to provide more detailed guidance regarding early oxygen titration in intubated patients.

Crit Care 2023; 27:131.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Supraphysiologic oxygen administration causes unfavorable clinical outcomes in various diseases, including traumatic brain injury, post-cardiac arrest syndrome, and acute lung injury. Accidental hypothermia is a critical illness that reduces oxygen demands, and excessive oxygen is likely to emerge. This study aimed to determine whether hyperoxia would be associated with increased mortality in patients with accidental hypothermia. METHODS A post-hoc analysis of a nationwide multicenter prospective observational study (ICE-CRASH study) on patients with accidental hypothermia admitted in 2019-2022 was conducted. Adult patients without cardiac arrest whose core body temperature was < 32 °C and whose arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) was measured at the emergency department were included. Hyperoxia was defined as a PaO2 level of 300 mmHg or higher, and 28-day mortality was compared between patients with and without hyperoxia before rewarming. Inverse probability weighting (IPW) analyses with propensity scores were performed to adjust patient demographics, comorbidities, etiology and severity of hypothermia, hemodynamic status and laboratories on arrival, and institution characteristics. Subgroup analyses were conducted according to age, chronic cardiopulmonary diseases, hemodynamic instability, and severity of hypothermia. RESULTS Of the 338 patients who were eligible for the study, 65 had hyperoxia before rewarming. Patients with hyperoxia had a higher 28-day mortality rate than those without (25 (39.1%) vs. 51 (19.5%); odds ratio (OR) 2.65 (95% confidence interval 1.47-4.78); p < 0.001). IPW analyses with propensity scores revealed similar results (adjusted OR 1.65 (1.14-2.38); p = 0.008). Subgroup analyses showed that hyperoxia was harmful in the elderly and those with cardiopulmonary diseases and severe hypothermia below 28 °C, whereas hyperoxia exposure had no effect on mortality in patients with hemodynamic instability on hospital arrival. CONCLUSIONS Hyperoxia with PaO2 levels of 300 mmHg or higher before initiating rewarming was associated with increased 28-day mortality in patients with accidental hypothermia. The amount of oxygen to administer to patients with accidental hypothermia should be carefully determined. TRIAL REGISTRATION The ICE-CRASH study was registered at the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trial Registry on April 1, 2019 (UMIN-CTR ID, UMIN000036132).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite growing interest in treatment strategies that limit oxygen exposure in ICU patients, no studies have compared conservative oxygen with standard oxygen in postsurgical patients with sepsis/septic shock, although there are indications that it may improve outcomes. It has been proven that high partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) reduces the rate of surgical-wound infections and mortality in patients under major surgery. The aim of this study is to examine whether PaO2 is associated with risk of death in adult patients with sepsis/septic shock after major surgery. METHODS We performed a secondary analysis of a prospective observational study in 454 patients who underwent major surgery admitted into a single ICU. Patients were stratified in two groups whether they had hyperoxemia, defined as PaO2 > 100 mmHg (n = 216), or PaO2 ≤ 100 mmHg (n = 238) at the day of sepsis/septic shock onset according to SEPSIS-3 criteria maintained during 48 h. Primary end-point was 90-day mortality after diagnosis of sepsis. Secondary endpoints were ICU length of stay and time to extubation. RESULTS In patients with PaO2 ≤ 100 mmHg, we found prolonged mechanical ventilation (2 [8] vs. 1 [4] days, p < 0.001), higher ICU stay (8 [13] vs. 5 [9] days, p < 0.001), higher organ dysfunction as assessed by SOFA score (9 [3] vs. 7 [5], p < 0.001), higher prevalence of septic shock (200/238, 84.0% vs 145/216) 67.1%, p < 0.001), and higher 90-day mortality (37.0% [88] vs. 25.5% [55], p = 0.008). Hyperoxemia was associated with higher probability of 90-day survival in a multivariate analysis (OR 0.61, 95%CI: 0.39-0.95, p = 0.029), independent of age, chronic renal failure, procalcitonin levels, and APACHE II score > 19. These findings were confirmed when patients with severe hypoxemia at the time of study inclusion were excluded. CONCLUSIONS Oxygenation with a PaO2 above 100 mmHg was independently associated with lower 90-day mortality, shorter ICU stay and intubation time in critically ill postsurgical sepsis/septic shock patients. Our findings open a new venue for designing clinical trials to evaluate the boundaries of PaO2 in postsurgical patients with severe infections.

Abstract
Oxygen (O2) toxicity remains a concern, particularly to the lung. This is mainly related to excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Supplemental O2, i.e. inspiratory O2 concentrations (FIO2) > 0.21 may cause hyperoxaemia (i.e. arterial (a) PO2 > 100 mmHg) and, subsequently, hyperoxia (increased tissue O2 concentration), thereby enhancing ROS formation. Here, we review the pathophysiology of O2 toxicity and the potential harms of supplemental O2 in various ICU conditions. The current evidence base suggests that PaO2 > 300 mmHg (40 kPa) should be avoided, but it remains uncertain whether there is an "optimal level" which may vary for given clinical conditions. Since even moderately supra-physiological PaO2 may be associated with deleterious side effects, it seems advisable at present to titrate O2 to maintain PaO2 within the normal range, avoiding both hypoxaemia and excess hyperoxaemia.

Target arterial PO 2 according to the underlying pathology: a mini-review of the available data in mechanically ventilated patients. Ann Intensive Care 2021; 11:88.

Abstract
There is an ongoing discussion whether hyperoxia, i.e. ventilation with high inspiratory O2 concentrations (FIO2), and the consecutive hyperoxaemia, i.e. supraphysiological arterial O2 tensions (PaO2), have a place during the acute management of circulatory shock. This concept is based on experimental evidence that hyperoxaemia may contribute to the compensation of the imbalance between O2 supply and requirements. However, despite still being common practice, its use is limited due to possible oxygen toxicity resulting from the increased formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) limits, especially under conditions of ischaemia/reperfusion. Several studies have reported that there is a U-shaped relation between PaO2 and mortality/morbidity in ICU patients. Interestingly, these mostly retrospective studies found that the lowest mortality coincided with PaO2 ~ 150 mmHg during the first 24 h of ICU stay, i.e. supraphysiological PaO2 levels. Most of the recent large-scale retrospective analyses studied general ICU populations, but there are major differences according to the underlying pathology studied as well as whether medical or surgical patients are concerned. Therefore, as far as possible from the data reported, we focus on the need of mechanical ventilation as well as the distinction between the absence or presence of circulatory shock. There seems to be no ideal target PaO2 except for avoiding prolonged exposure (> 24 h) to either hypoxaemia (PaO2 < 55-60 mmHg) or supraphysiological (PaO2 > 100 mmHg). Moreover, the need for mechanical ventilation, absence or presence of circulatory shock and/or the aetiology of tissue dysoxia, i.e. whether it is mainly due to impaired macro- and/or microcirculatory O2 transport and/or disturbed cellular O2 utilization, may determine whether any degree of hyperoxaemia causes deleterious side effects.
