SAVE-O2 Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether a multimodal educational intervention can help reduce the use of supplemental oxygen in major burn patients, as well as whether targeted oxygen therapy is safe and effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adult patients with severe burn injuries who are admitted to a burn unit within a day of the injury. It's not for pregnant women, children under 18, or prisoners. Participants should be eligible for inclusion in state or national burn data repositories.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests an educational strategy aimed at using oxygen more precisely in major burn patients (keeping blood oxygen levels within specific ranges). The goal is to see if this approach reduces unnecessary supplemental oxygen use and improves patient outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the trial focuses on education and targeted oxygen therapy rather than drugs, potential side effects may include complications from receiving too little oxygen, like increased heart rate, shortness of breath, confusion or restlessness.

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: Post-Implementation Targeting Normoxemia in Burn ICUActive Control1 Intervention
The intervention (post-implementation) group will be patients admitted to the burn unit in ICU during the targeting normoxemia intervention period of the stepped-wedge design implementation process (up to 19 months).
Group II: Pre-ImplementationActive Control1 Intervention
The control (pre-implementation) group will be burn patients admitted to the burn unit in ICU during the site's control period of the stepped-wedge implementation process (up to 22 months).
