2% was associated with a shorter duration of organ support and greater survival, compared with Spo2 greater than 94%, in mechanically ventilated children following unplanned admission to PICU. We inve...

Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) above 94% is typical in children in paediatric intensive critical care units (PICUs) who are receiving invasive ve…
