Epidemiological data suggest that moderate hyperoxemia may be associated with an improved outcome after traumatic brain injury. In a prospective, randomized investigation of long-term, resuscitated acute subdural hematoma plus hemorrhagic shock (ASDH + HS) in 14 adult, human-sized pigs, targeted hyperoxemia (200 < PO < 250 mmHg vs. normoxemia 80 < PO < 120 mmHg) coincided with improved neurological function. Since brain perfusion, oxygenation and metabolism did not differ, this post hoc study analyzed the available material for the effects of targeted hyperoxemia on cerebral tissue markers of oxidative/nitrosative stress (nitrotyrosine expression), blood-brain barrier integrity (extravascular albumin accumulation) and fluid homeostasis (oxytocin, its receptor and the HS-producing enzymes cystathionine-β-synthase and cystathionine-γ-lyase). After 2 h of ASDH + HS (0.1 mL/kgBW autologous blood injected into the subdural space and passive removal of 30% of the blood volume), animals were resuscitated for up to 53 h by re-transfusion of shed blood, noradrenaline infusion to maintain cerebral perfusion pressure at baseline levels and hyper-/normoxemia during the first 24 h. Immediate postmortem, bi-hemispheric (i.e., blood-injected and contra-lateral) prefrontal cortex specimens from the base of the sulci underwent immunohistochemistry (% positive tissue staining) analysis of oxidative/nitrosative stress, blood-brain barrier integrity and fluid homeostasis. None of these tissue markers explained any differences in hyperoxemia-related neurological function. Likewise, hyperoxemia exerted no deleterious effects.

Background: As iatrogenic hyperoxia has been related to adverse outcomes in critically ill patients, guidelines advise to titrate oxygen to physiological levels. In the prehospital setting where partial arterial oxygen (PaO) values are often not readily available, titration of oxygen is based on peripheral oxygen saturations (SpO2). In this study we aimed to investigate the efficacy of SpO guided oxygen titration in the prevention of hyperoxia.

Closed-loop automated oxygen control in late preterm and term, ventilated infants: A randomised controlled trial.

Acta Paediatr

December 2024

Women and Children's Health, School of Life Course Sciences, Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine, King's College London, London, UK.

Aim: To compare the time spent above the target oxygen saturation range (SpO > 96%) and the duration of supplemental oxygen between ventilated infants receiving closed-loop automated oxygen control (CLAC) or manual oxygen control in late preterm and term ventilated infants.

Methods: Infants were randomised to receive CLAC or manual oxygen control from recruitment and within 24 h of mechanical ventilation until successful extubation.

Results: Forty infants with a median (IQR) gestational age of 37.

Effects of very early hyperoxemia on neurologic outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A secondary analysis of the TTM-2 trial.

Resuscitation

December 2024

Anesthesia and Critical Care, San Martino Policlinico Hospital, IRCCS for Oncology and Neuroscience, Genoa, Italy; Department of Surgical Sciences and Integrated Diagnostics, University of Genoa, Genoa, Italy. Electronic address:

Purpose: Hyperoxemia is common in patients resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and may increase the risk of mortality. However, the effect of hyperoxemia on functional outcome, specifically related to the timing of exposure to hyperoxemia, remains unclear.

Methods: The secondary analysis of the Target Temperature Management 2 (TTM-2) randomized trial.

Article Synopsis
  • - ECPR can enhance survival and neurological recovery for patients suffering from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but elevated levels of arterial oxygen can hinder these outcomes, particularly in the context of targeted temperature management (TTM).
  • - This study analyzed data from a larger registry of ECPR cases, focusing on the impact of prolonged hyperoxemia, defined as a partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO) of 300 mmHg or higher, during the initial days of intensive care.
  • - Findings indicate that prolonged hyperoxemia negatively affects both survival and neurological recovery post-ECPR, with factors such as age and initial heart rhythm also playing critical roles in patient outcomes.
