Authors' conclusion

Oxygen reserve index- combined with pulse oximetry-based prehospital oxygen titration did not significantly improve the normoxia index compared with standard oxygen titration based on pulse oximetry alone

Study context

Population
Patients with return of spontaneous circulation after cardiac arrest, during prehospital transport (FIO2 titrated to SpO2 94–98%)
Participants
92 patients
Comparison
Intervention vs Control
Primary endpoint
Normoxia index (proportion of hyperoxia- and hypoxia-free time during prehospital intervention)
Follow-up
