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.

Still Looking for a Simple, Effective Prevention Measure for Neonatal Sepsis in High-Mortality Settings. jamanetwork.com The "Decade of Vaccines" contributed to notable global declines in mortality among children younger than 5 years, but mortality in the neonatal period remains a stubborn problem. Most neonatal deaths occur in the first week of life. The causes of such deaths are difficult to characterize. Evidence suggests complications of labor and delivery play a major role in deaths in the first hours after birth, and that preterm delivery and infections also each cause approximately one-third of deaths in the first week of life. Many neonatal deaths are a result of multiple conditions, such as preterm birth in combination wit…

Currently, more than 52 million persons in the US consume acetaminophen on a weekly basis, although many of them are unaware that they are consuming medications that contain acetaminophen. Although acetaminophen has a remarkable safety record when taken as directed, its use has been associated with liver and kidney toxicity, which may be fatal because of a narrow safety range between therapeutic effect and toxicity.

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…

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.
