Abstract 168: Hypoxia On Arrival At The Hospital Among Major Traumatic Brain Injury Patients Who Were Non-Hypoxic In The Field: Support For “Hyper-oxic” Prehospital Treatment?
Abstract
Background: Prehospital and early hospital hypoxia powerfully affect traumatic brain injury (TBI) outcomes. However, the correlations between EMS and hospital O2 saturations are unknown. Using the EPIC Study data (NIH-1R01NS071049; DOD-W81XWH-19-C-0058), we assessed correlations between EMS SpO2 and the risk of major TBI patients arriving at the trauma center (TC) with hypoxia (initial ED SpO2<90%).
