SAVE-O2 Trial Summary

This trial will test whether a multimodal educational intervention can help to reduce the use of supplemental oxygen in critically injured patients. Additionally, the trial will evaluate the safety and clinical effectiveness of more targeted oxygen therapy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who've been critically injured, are listed in the state or national trauma registry, and admitted to a surgical/trauma ICU within 24 hours of arriving at the hospital. It's not for those under 18, prisoners, pregnant individuals, or patients transferred from other departments.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if educating healthcare providers on oxygen use can lead to more precise oxygen therapy (keeping blood oxygen levels within specific limits) and improve outcomes for critically injured patients.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on education around optimal oxygen levels rather than a new medication or procedure, side effects are related to potential risks of not using excess supplemental oxygen which could include low blood oxygen.

Active Control
Group I: Post-Implementation Targeting Normoxemia in Trauma ICUExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The intervention (post-implementation) group will be patients admitted to the surgical/trauma ICU during the targeted normoxemia intervention period of the stepped-wedge implementation process (up to 25 months).
Group II: Pre-ImplementationActive Control1 Intervention
The control (pre-implementation) group will be trauma patients admitted to the surgical/trauma ICU during the site's control period of the stepped-wedge implementation process (up to 22 months).
