Randomized trial finds apneic oxygenation does not improve lowest arterial oxygen saturation in critically ill adults, suggesting routine use is unsupported.
Apneic oxygenation does not seem to increase lowest arterial oxygen saturation during endotracheal intubation of critically ill patients compared with usual care. These findings do not support routine use of apneic oxygenation during endotracheal intubation of critically ill adults. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT 02051816).
