Abstract
Supplemental oxygen is a standard therapeutic intervention for critically ill patients such as patients suffering from cardiac arrest, myocardial ischemia, traumatic brain injury, and stroke. However, the optimal oxygenation targets remain elusive owing to the paucity and inconsistencies in the relevant literature. A comprehensive analysis of the available scientific evidence was performed to establish the relative efficacy of the lower and higher oxygenation targets. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, MEDLINE, and Scopus databases from 2010 to 2023. Further, Google Scholar was also searched. Studies evaluating the efficacy of oxygenation targets and the associated clinical outcomes were included. Studies that included participants with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, chronic respiratory diseases, or extracorporeal life support were excluded. The literature search was performed by two blinded reviewers. A total of 19 studies were included in this systemic review, including 72,176 participants. A total of 14 randomized control trials were included. A total of 12 studies investigated the efficacy of lower and higher oxygenation targets in ICU-admitted patients, and seven were assessed in patients with acute myocardial infarction and stroke. For ICU patients, the evidence was conflicting, with some studies showing the efficacy of conservative oxygen therapy while others reported no difference. Overall, nine studies concluded that lower oxygen targets are favorable. However, most studies (n=4) in stroke and myocardial infarction patients showed no difference in lower or higher oxygenation targets whereas only two supported lower oxygenation targets. Available evidence suggests that lower oxygenation targets result in either improved or equivalent clinical outcomes compared with higher oxygenation targets.

Emergency department hyperoxia is associated with increased mortality in mechanically ventilated patients: a cohort study. CRITICAL CARE : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CRITICAL CARE FORUM 2018; 22:9. [PMID: 29347982 PMCID: PMC5774130 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-017-1926-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 74] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2017] [Accepted: 12/15/2017] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Providing supplemental oxygen is fundamental in the management of mechanically ventilated patients. Increasing amounts of data show worse clinical outcomes associated with hyperoxia. However, these previous data in the critically ill have not focused on outcomes associated with brief hyperoxia exposure immediately after endotracheal intubation. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the impact of isolated early hyperoxia exposure in the emergency department (ED) on clinical outcomes among mechanically ventilated patients with subsequent normoxia in the intensive care unit (ICU). METHODS This was an observational cohort study conducted in the ED and ICUs of an academic center in the USA. Mechanically ventilated normoxic (partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) 60-120 mm Hg) ICU patients with mechanical ventilation initiated in the ED were studied. The cohort was categorized into three oxygen exposure groups based on PaO2 values obtained after ED intubation: hypoxia, normoxia, and hyperoxia (defined as PaO2 < 60 mmHg, PaO2 60-120 mm Hg, and PaO2 > 120 mm Hg, respectively, based on previous literature). RESULTS A total of 688 patients were included. ED normoxia occurred in 350 (50.9%) patients, and 300 (43.6%) had exposure to ED hyperoxia. The ED hyperoxia group had a median (IQR) ED PaO2 of 189 mm Hg (146-249), compared to an ED PaO2 of 88 mm Hg (76-101) in the normoxia group, P < 0.001. Patients with ED hyperoxia had greater hospital mortality (29.7%), when compared to those with normoxia (19.4%) and hypoxia (13.2%). After multivariable logistic regression analysis, ED hyperoxia was an independent predictor of hospital mortality (adjusted OR 1.95 (1.34-2.85)). CONCLUSIONS ED exposure to hyperoxia is common and associated with increased mortality in mechanically ventilated patients achieving normoxia after admission. This suggests that hyperoxia in the immediate post-intubation period could be particularly injurious, and targeting normoxia from initiation of mechanical ventilation may improve outcome.

Hyperoxia provokes a time- and dose-dependent inflammatory response in mechanically ventilated mice, irrespective of tidal volumes. Intensive Care Med Exp 2017; 5:27.

Abstract
Background Mechanical ventilation and hyperoxia have the potential to independently promote lung injury and inflammation. Our purpose was to study both time- and dose-dependent effects of supplemental oxygen in an experimental model of mechanically ventilated mice. Methods Healthy male C57Bl/6J mice, aged 9–10 weeks, were intraperitoneally anesthetized and randomly assigned to the mechanically ventilated group or the control group. In total, 100 mice were tracheotomized and mechanically ventilated for either 8 or 12 h after allocation to different settings for the applied fractions of inspired oxygen (FiO2, 30, 50, or 90%) and tidal volumes (7.5 or 15 ml/kg). After euthanisation arterial blood, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALf) and tissues were collected for analyses. Results Mechanical ventilation significantly increased the lung injury score (P < 0.05), mean protein content (P < 0.001), and the mean number of cells (P < 0.01), including neutrophils in BALf (P < 0.001). In mice ventilated for 12 h, a significant increase in TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-10, and MCP-1 (P < 0.01) was observed with 90% FiO2, whereas IL-6 showed a decreasing trend (P for trend = 0.03) across FiO2 groups. KC, MIP-2, and sRAGE were similar between FiO2 groups. HMGB-1 was significantly higher in BALf of mechanically ventilated mice compared to controls and showed a gradual increase in expression with increasing FiO2. Cytokine and chemokine levels in BALf did not markedly differ between FiO2 groups after 8 h of ventilation. Differences between the tidal volume groups were small and did not appear to significantly interact with the oxygen levels. Conclusions We demonstrated a severe vascular leakage and a pro-inflammatory pulmonary response in mechanically ventilated mice, which was enhanced by severe hyperoxia and longer duration of mechanical ventilation. Prolonged ventilation with high oxygen concentrations induced a time-dependent immune response characterized by elevated levels of neutrophils, cytokines, and chemokines in the pulmonary compartment.

Abstract
Oxygen administration is uniformly used in emergency and intensive care medicine and has life-saving potential in critical conditions. However, excessive oxygenation also has deleterious properties in various pathophysiological processes and consequently both clinical and translational studies investigating hyperoxia during critical illness have gained increasing interest. Reactive oxygen species are notorious by-products of hyperoxia and play a pivotal role in cell signaling pathways. The effects are diverse, but when the homeostatic balance is disturbed, reactive oxygen species typically conserve a vicious cycle of tissue injury, characterized by cell damage, cell death, and inflammation. The most prominent symptoms in the abundantly exposed lungs include tracheobronchitis, pulmonary edema, and respiratory failure. In addition, absorptive atelectasis results as a physiological phenomenon with increasing levels of inspiratory oxygen. Hyperoxia-induced vasoconstriction can be beneficial during vasodilatory shock, but hemodynamic changes may also impose risk when organ perfusion is impaired. In this context, oxygen may be recognized as a multifaceted agent, a modifiable risk factor, and a feasible target for intervention. Although most clinical outcomes are still under extensive investigation, careful titration of oxygen supply is warranted in order to secure adequate tissue oxygenation while preventing hyperoxic harm.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:
Advanced age is associated with an increased susceptibility and mortality of the acute respiratory distress syndrome. This may be due to the progressive changes in innate immune responses and intrinsic properties of the lung that occur during the process of aging. Therefore, this study assesses the association between maturation and aging and pulmonary responses to injury in animal models of lung injury.
Methods:
A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE (up to June 2014) and in the references of relevant articles to identify the studies using in vivo models of lung injury caused by an acute pulmonary insult, in which at least two age groups were compared. Because methodological diversity precluded combining these studies in a quantitative meta-analysis, data are presented based on the qualitative comparison with the adult group.
Results:
Of the 2,840 identified studies, 51 were included in this review. Most studies showed that, in response to a pulmonary insult, increasing age is associated with more pulmonary inflammation, edema, alveolar damage, and higher mortality. In addition, results indicate the existence of age-dependent changes in key components of the intracellular signaling pathways involved in the inflammatory response.
Conclusions:
Increasing age seems to be correlated with exaggerated pulmonary responses to injury, ultimately leading to more severe lung injury. Pulmonary inflammation seems relatively suppressed in infants/juveniles, whereas in the middle aged/elderly, the inflammatory response seems delayed but aggravated. This implies that investigators and clinicians need to use caution about extrapolating results from adolescent or youngadult animals to pediatric or elderly patients in clinical practice.
