Show Notes

Patients with COVID-19 can require supplemental oxygen for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.  While international guidelines recommend a target SpO2 between 90-96%, a safe oxygenation strategy has not been identified.  In this podcast, we discuss the recently published HOT-COVID Trial, which compared a lower oxygenation strategy with a higher oxygenation strategy in adult ICU patients with COVID-19.
