German S3 Guideline - Oxygen Therapy in the Acute Care of Adult Patients

Jens Gottlieb et al.

Summary: Background Oxygen (O-2) is a drug with specific biochemical and physiologic properties, a range of effective doses and may have side effects. In 2015, 14% of over 55 000 hospital patients in the UK were using oxygen. 42% of patients received this supplemental oxygen without a valid prescription. Healthcare professionals are frequently uncertain about the relevance of hypoxemia and have low awareness about the risks of hyperoxemia. Numerous randomized controlled trials about targets of oxygen therapy have been published in recent years. A national guideline is urgently needed. Methods A S3-guideline was developed and published within the Program for National Disease Management Guidelines (AWMF) with participation of 10-medical associations. Literature search was performed until Feb 1st 2021 to answer 10 key questions. The Oxford Centre for Evidence- Based Medicine (CEBM) System (The Oxford 2011 Levels of Evidence) was used to classify types of studies in terms of validity. Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) was used and for assessing the quality of evidence and for grading guideline recommendation and a formal consensus-building process was performed. Results The guideline includes 34 evidence-based recommendations about indications, prescription, monitoring and discontinuation of oxygen therapy in acute care. The main indication for O-2 therapy is hypoxemia. In acute care both hypoxemia and hyperoxemia should be avoided. Hyperoxemia also seems to be associated with increased mortality, especially in patients with hypercapnia. The guideline provides recommended target oxygen saturation for acute medicine without differentiating between diagnoses. Target ranges for oxygen saturation are depending on ventilation status risk for hypercapnia. The guideline provides an overview of available oxygen delivery systems and includes recommendations for their selection based on patient safety and comfort. Conclusion This is the first national guideline on the use of oxygen in acute care. It addresses healthcare professionals using oxygen in acute out-of-hospital and in- hospital settings. The guideline will be valid for 3 years until June 30, 2024.

Investigation into the predictive capability for mortality and the trigger points of the National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) in emergency department patients

Huw Masson et al.

Summary: The National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) has been found to be an effective predictor of mortality for emergency department patients, with a NEWS2 score of 4 and over potentially being the best trigger point for treatment escalation. Patients with a NEWS2 score of 0-1 are identified as a very low-risk group within the emergency department.

Lower or Higher Oxygenation Targets for Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure

Olav L. Schjorring et al.

Summary: Among adult patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure in the ICU, setting a lower target for arterial oxygen did not result in lower mortality at 90 days compared to a higher target.

Identifying the Sickest During Triage: Using Point-of-Care Severity Scores to Predict Prognosis in Emergency Department Patients With Suspected Sepsis

Priya A. Prasad et al.

Summary: The study compared the ability of qSOFA, NEWS2, and Shock Index to predict poor outcomes among patients with suspected sepsis in triage. NEWS2 showed the highest sensitivity, qSOFA exhibited the highest specificity, and Shock Index had the highest AUROC for predicting in-hospital mortality and ED-to-ICU admission. Overall, the performance of the three scoring systems varied, with institution priorities driving score selection.

Perceptions of Hyperoxemia and Conservative Oxygen Therapy in the Management of Acute Respiratory Failure

Brett R. Curtis et al.

Summary: This study elucidated the diverse attitudes of ICU providers towards hyperoxemia and conservative oxygen therapy for patients with acute respiratory failure. Barriers to conservative oxygen therapy included concerns about hypoxemia, perceptions that hyperoxemia is not harmful, and a lack of clear evidence supporting conservative oxygen therapy. Interprofessional education and convincing clinical trial evidence were suggested as facilitators for the uptake of conservative oxygenation.

The Oxygen project: a prospective study to assess the effectiveness of a targeted intervention to improve oxygen management in hospitalised patients

Benjamin Nguyen et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a targeted intervention to improve prescribing practice and therapeutic application of supplemental oxygen in respiratory, oncology, and surgery wards. Results showed an increase in oxygen prescriptions in medical wards, but not in surgical wards, suggesting the need for different strategies in the two settings.
