Professor and Interim Department Chair Dr. Mike Winters, MBA, MD, along with Emergency Medicine (EM) specialists in Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Philadelphia, recently released the newest episode of the Critical Care Perspectives in EM podcast.
The episode explores the peer-reviewed study, “Conservative Oxygen Therapy in Mechanically Ventilated Critically Ill Adult Patients: The UK-ROX Randomized Clinical Trial,” which included more than 16,500 patients from 97 hospitals in the United Kingdom. The study was published in August by the Journal of the American Medical Association.
In their discussion, Dr. Winters and colleagues review the study, discuss its results, and consider whether a change in EM practice is warranted.
