High intraoperative inspiratory oxygen fraction and risk of major respiratory complications

Conclusions. In this analysis of administrative data on file, high intraoperative FIO2 was associated in a dose-dependent manner with major respiratory complications and with 30-day mortality. The effect remained stable in a sensitivity analysis controlled for oxygenation.Clinical trial registration. NCT02399878.
