Brief Summary

Prospective observational study in 40 adult critically ill patients. Patients were eligible if they were mechanically ventilated with an FiO2 ≤0.5 and PaO2/FiO2 ≥200 mmHg and hemodynamically stable with a hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL, no acute bleeding or need for blood transfusions, no renal failure, no chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Twenty patients (hyperoxia group) underwent a 2-hour exposure to normobaric hyperoxia (FiO2 1.0), 20 patients were evaluated as controls. Serum erythropoietin (EPO) was measured at baseline, 24h and 48h. Serum Glutathione (GSH) and reacting oxygen species (ROS) were assessed at baseline (t0), after 2 hours of hyperoxia (t1) and 2 hours after the return to baseline FiO2 (t2). Sidestream dark field videomicroscopy was applied sublingually to assess the microvascular response to hyperoxia. Near infrared spectroscopy with a vascular occlusion test was applied at t0, t1, t2.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Effectiveness of Normobaric Oxygen Hyperoxia in increasing serum erythropoietin levels in critically ill patients

    Blood samples to detect erythropoietin

    up to 2 day after FiO2=1 exposure

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Effects of hyperoxia on the sublingual microcirculation

    Before FiO2, after 2 hours of FiO2=1 exposure, 2 hours after the end of FiO2=1 exposure

  • Effects of hyperoxia on the peripheral microcirculation

    Before FiO2 = 1, after 2 hours of FiO2=1 exposure, 2 hours after the end of FiO2=1 exposure

  • Hyperoxia and variations in circulating glutathione

    Before FiO2 = 1, after 2 hours of FiO2=1 exposure, 2 hours after the end of FiO2=1 exposure

  • Hyperoxia and variations in circulating nitric oxide
