ANZICS CTG Endorsed Study

ICU-ROX

A phase 2b, multi-centre, randomised, single blinded clinical trial parallel groups comparing liberal vs. conservative oxygen therapy in mechanically ventilated adults in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Study Description

ICU-ROX is a phase 2b, multi-centre, randomised, single blinded clinical trial parallel groups comparing liberal vs. conservative oxygen therapy in mechanically ventilated adults in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Our study hypothesis is that a conservative approach to oxygen therapy, which minimises unnecessary exposure to hyperoxaemia, will increase ventilator-free days compared to a more liberal approach to oxygen therapy which does not specifically aim to avoid exposure to hyperoxaemia.
