What Researchers Did
Researchers conducted a systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression of 24 cohort studies published between 2008 and 2015 to investigate the effects of arterial hyperoxia on outcomes in critically ill adults.
What They Found
The abstract did not provide specific numerical findings regarding the association between arterial hyperoxia and outcomes in critically ill adults. It only stated that nineteen studies were pooled for meta-analyses.
Canadian Relevance
This study has no direct Canadian connection as it was not conducted in Canada nor involved Canadian researchers or patients.
Study Limitations
A limitation of this meta-analysis was the inability to include studies specifically dedicated to patients with acute lung injury, sepsis, shock, or multiple trauma due to a lack of available data.
