Setting inspired oxygen fraction (FiO ) is a complicated balance between ensuring adequate 2 oxygenation and minimizing the risk of lung damage. This paper presents a retrospective test of a modelbased decision support system (INVENT) for advising on FiO levels in intensive care patients. Clinically determined FiO levels and the resulting blood oxygenation are compared with INVENT determined Fi...
