Oxygenation vs no oxygenation during the apnoeic period preceding intubation

All‐cause mortality · people requiring tracheal intubation

Oxygenation showed no clear difference in mortality compared with no oxygenation during the apnoeic period preceding intubation (low certainty).

Summary of findings table ‐ Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) vs usual care

All‐cause mortality at 6 months (subgroup) · severe cardiorespiratory failure and cardiac arrest

Summary of findings table ‐ Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) showed no clear difference in all‐cause mortality: ECPR subgroup compared with conventional care (moderate certainty).

Summary of findings table ‐ Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) vs usual care

All‐cause mortality: all ECMO studies · severe cardiorespiratory failure and cardiac arrest

Summary of findings table ‐ Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) probably leads to lower all‐cause mortality: all ECMO studies compared with conventional care (moderate certainty).

Higher vs lower FiO2 or targets of arterial oxygenation

All‐cause mortality: range 1 mo to 1 y · adults admitted to the ICU

It is very uncertain whether higher changes all‐cause mortality: range 1 mo to 1 y compared with lower FiO2 or targets of arterial oxygenation (very low certainty).

It is very uncertain whether the intervention changes mortality at longest (very low certainty).
