---|---|
Experimental: Oxygenation, rigorous normal
Patients 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.
|
Drug: Oxygen
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. |
No Intervention: Oxygen, free conventional
Patients admitted in intensive care units for 3 days. Administration of oxygen inspiratory fractions to maintain SpO2 over 97%, up to a PaO2 of 150 mmHg. Oxygen addition administer for transports or diagnostic manoeuvres. Conventional clinical criteria for airways control and ventilation technique.
