Effects of Automated Versus Conventional Ventilation on Quality of Oxygenation-A Substudy of a Randomized Crossover Clinical Trial.

: Attaining adequate oxygenation in critically ill patients undergoing invasive ventilation necessitates intense monitoring through pulse oximetry (SpO) and frequent manual adjustments of ventilator settings like the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO) and the level of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Our aim was to compare the quality of oxygenation with the use of automated ventilation provided by INTELLiVENT-Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV) vs. ventilation that is not automated, i.
