Oxygen therapy study aims to Fine-Tune care for ICU patients
NCT ID NCT05590130
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how different oxygen level targets and two types of oximeters affect the amount of oxygen given to patients in the intensive care unit. Researchers will test four combinations of target (90% or 94% oxygen saturation) and oximeter (Philips or Nonin) in 40 adults after heart surgery. The goal is to see which setup uses less oxygen while keeping patients safe, potentially reducing oxygen toxicity.
What this could mean

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors choose better oxygen targets and oximeters to reduce oxygen waste and risk of oxygen toxicity.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants, mostly light-skinned. Results may not apply to all patients or settings.
