About this study

Official title: Normal Oxygenation Maintenance in Intensive Care Unit: Randomized Controlled Trial

Oxygen administration is a common practice in intensive care units, although concern is growing about oxygen toxicity. The aim of the study is to access whether a rigorous maintenance of a state of normal oxygenation in critically ill patients could obtain better outcomes, such as mortality, infections and organ failures, in comparison to conventional oxygen therapy practice.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • OxygenDrug

    The lowest inspiratory fraction of oxygen between 21 and 100% in as a short time as possible to maintain SpO2 between 94 and 98% or PaO2 between 70 and 100 mmHg.

Study groups in NCT01319643
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Oxygenation, rigorous normalExperimentalPatients admitted in intensive care unit for 3 days. Administration of the lowest inspiratory fraction dose of oxygen to maintain oxygen peripheral saturation (SpO2) between 94 and 98% or an arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) between 70 and 100 mmHg. No oxygen addition administer for transports or diagnostic manoeuvres. Conventional clinical criteria for airways control and ventilation technique.

Oxygen addition administer for transports or diagnostic manoeuvres. Conventional clinical criteria for airways control and ventilation technique.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mortality in ICU

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Rate of organ dysfunctions (respiratory, circulation, renal, liver)

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Rate of nosocomial blood and respiratory infections in intensive care unit and surgery site infections in hospital.

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Oxygen in people with Nervous System Diseases and Respiratory Tract Diseases, run by University of Modena and Reggio Emilia at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Mar 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mortality in ICU (time frame: 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01319643, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Mar 2011; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
