Prior SAVE-O2 trials showed that targeting normoxemia safely reduced supplemental oxygen use without increasing hypoxemia or worsening clinical outcomes.

Clinical staff routinely over-administer supplemental oxygen to hospitalized patients with acute injury or illness. Hyperoxemia results in wasteful use of a limited resource, especially in austere environments.
