Approximately 3 million critically ill patients are intubated and initiated on mechanical ventilation each year in the United States.

However, the optimal oxygenation target in critically ill adult patients receiving mechanical ventilation remains uncertain. In this podcast we discuss a recently published study, the PILOT Trial, that evaluated low, intermediate, and high oxygenation targets in critically ill patients.
