This target oxygen saturation was justified by a meta-analysis of previous phase 2 trials testing a lower oxygen target in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. In that meta-analysis, there was a range of different "low" oxygen targets. The largest study was by Young et al, which randomized 166 patients with suspected hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy to receive an oxygen saturation of 90% to 97% compared with standard care.

The authors have focused on an important area of postresuscitation care, because hyperoxia (defined as Pao2 >300 mm Hg) has shown to be associated with worse outcomes. In contrast to a 2022 study, the study by Dr Bernard and colleagues did not report any benefit for low oxygen targets, although the oxygen target for the intervention group (peripheral oxygen saturation of 90%-94%) was far below international recommendations. Thus, this trial compared hypoxia with normoxia rather than…
