The trial found no significant difference in hospitalization or death risk between patients using long-term oxygen therapy for 24 hours versus 15 hours per day, potentially offering more freedom for those with severe hypoxemia.

The study demonstrates that preoxygenation with noninvasive ventilation significantly reduces the incidence of hypoxemia during tracheal intubation in critically ill adults, compared to preoxygenation with an oxygen mask. This finding supports a potential shift in clinical practice to enhance patient safety during emergency intubations.
