The article presents a study based on the comparison of hyperoxia and conservative oxygen strategies on morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. It mentions that there is no difference in cognitive function; and an improved 180-day mortality for the patient population affected by hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy receiving conservative oxygen; and no benefit of conservative oxygen therapy in terms of ventilator-free days.
