The Effectiveness of the Use of Oxygen Reserve Index in Preventing Hyperoxia in the Intensive Care Unit.

March 29, 2023 updated by: Aykut Saritas, Tepecik Training and Research Hospital

Determination of the Incidence of Hyperoxia and the Effectiveness of FiO2 Titration Guided by the Oxygen Reserve Index in Preventing Hyperoxia in Mechanically Ventilated Patients in the Intensive Care Unit.

Oxygen therapy is the most common treatment modality for patients with hypoxemia in intensive care units, but target values for normoxemia are not clearly defined. Therefore, iatrogenic hyperoxemia is a very common situation. In intensive care units, FiO2 is usually adjusted according to hypoxia and hyperoxia is ignored in patients under mechanical ventilator support. Even though there are many side effects reported related to hyperoxemia and hyperoxemia is shown to be related to worse outcome than expected; clinicians still observe hyperoxemia frequently.

Continuous ORi monitoring can be used for detecting and preventing hyperoxia. The ability to perform FiO2 titration with ORi may be an appropriate monitoring management to prevent the harmful effects of hyperoxia. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of ORi-guided FiO2 titration in preventing hyperoxia in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit and to determine the incidence of hyperoxia.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In intensive care units, FiO2 is usually adjusted according to hypoxia and hyperoxia is ignored in patients under mechanical ventilator support. Even though there are many side effects reported related to hyperoxemia and hyperoxemia is shown to be related to worse outcome than expected; clinicians still observe hyperoxemia frequently.

Oxygen reserve index (ORi™) (Masimo Corp., Irvine, USA) can guide clinicians in detection of hyperoxia. ORi is a parameter which can evaluate partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) rating from 0 to 1. There are growing evidences in ORi that it might be helpful to reduce hyperoxia in general anesthesia. Continuous ORi monitoring can be used for detecting and preventing hyperoxia. The ability to perform FiO2 titration with ORi may be an appropriate monitoring management to prevent the harmful effects of hyperoxia.

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of ORi-guided FiO2 titration in preventing hyperoxia in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit and to determine the incidence of hyperoxia.

  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Triple

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Control group
Patients with oxygen saturation > 97% will only be observed. ORi values will be recorded blindly from the clinician. Adjustments to be made in FiO2 will be determined by the intensive care doctor independently of the study, and only observation will be made in this group.
Active Comparator: ORi+SpO2 (oxygen saturation) group
Fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) is titrated guided by oxygen saturation in that range; %95<oxygen saturation≤%98

FiO2 will be titrated by reducing 10% if Ori>0.01 and oxygen saturation ≥ 98% until Ori is 0.00.

FiO2 will not be changed if Ori is 0.00 and %95
