Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Fractional oxygen during mechanical ventilation, is a life sustaining therapy in the intensive care unit , used for about a million patients annually. Oxygen therapy needs to be tightly balanced as both hypoxia and hyperoxia are harmful. Establishing precision in oxygenation has significant implications for improving patient outcomes, resource utilization and reducing iatrogenic harm to a vulnerable population. The investigators propose an approach using a oxygen titration protocol consisting of electronic health records based alerts to guide oxygen adjustment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators will conduct a prospective randomized, clinical trial in the Medical Intensive Care Unit at Ohio State University Medical Center. In the intervention arm, respiratory therapists' will conduct oxygen titration with the help of a novel, high fidelity, electronic health records based, protocol consisting of electronic alerts and decision support tool. Oxygen titration in the control arm will be done without alerts and will be per "current standard of care".

Participants for this study will be identified and recruited from patients admitted to the Ohio State University, Wexner Medical Center and James Cancer Hospital, Medical Intensive Care Unit.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention arm- Oxygen titration with electronic alerts

Oxygen titration will be done based on electronic alerts and decisions support tool by Respiratory Therapists, if FiO2=\> 0.4 and SpO2 =\>94% for more than 45 minutes

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Electronic Alerts

Intervention Type OTHER

When FiO2 remains =\>0.4 and SpO2 =\>94% for more than 45 minutes, an electronic health record based alert will be sent to respiratory therapists to titrate oxygen per decision support tool.

Control Arm- Oxygen titration by one time physician orders

Oxygen titration will be done ventilator management guidelines for the medical intensive care unit. Titration is done by one-time orders.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
