- Title
Different oxygenation targets for stable COPD and acute exacerbations in the ICU.
- Authors
Zijlstra, G. Jan
- Abstract
Unfortunately, the large MEGA-ROX trial does not appear to include COPD as a subgroup analysis and presumably leaves COPD patients open to exclusion as higher oxygen targets could be construed as contra-indicated in this treatment group [[4]]. At present, the best available data seem to show a lower target for oxygenation in an acute exacerbation of COPD and a normal target for oxygenation in stable COPD admitted for other reasons.
