Providing supplemental oxygen in the ICU often exposes patients to a high Fio2 and a higher-than-normal Pao2, which have been associated with increased mortality and fewer ventilator-free days. Studies have suggested that establishing regimens for limiting oxygen use could improve outcomes. New research findings are summarized in a short video. https://nej.md/2PZmFNA | The New England Journal of Medicine

SpO2 vs. PaO2 🩸🫁 🫁Oxygen measurements are not all the same! It’s important to know the differences between readings and what these are truly measuring (percentage, pressure, etc.) ⭐SpO2 (oxygen saturation) → the percentage of hemoglobin bound to oxygen → Most commonly measured with a pulse oximeter, or “pulse ox”, which is a small device which clips onto the patient’s finger. It’s a quick reading, and gives us an idea of the patient’s oxygenation status. → Take Note! Patients with COPD may ha
