All

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: • Adults =18 years having an indwelling arterial line. • Intubated and mechanically ventilated =12 hours • Clinically stable: o FiO2 = 0.6 o PEEP = 10 cmH2O o No spontaneous effort • Expected ongoing ventilation for =4 hours

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • PaO2/FiO2 < 100 mmHg • Hemodynamic instability requiring escalating vasopressors • Pneumothorax, bronchopleural fistula, or air-leak syndrome • Raised intracranial pressure, severe arrhythmias, or inability to tolerate suctioning • Pregnancy • If the arterial line is removed for clinical reasons before completing all study periods, the participant will be withdrawn from further interventions, but data collected up to that point will remain included in the intention-to-treat analysis.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
PaO2/FiO2 Ratio AUC 0–60 min, determined from ABG sampling

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
• PaO2, PaCO2, SpO2 at all timepoints;SpO2 nadir and time SpO2 <90% / <85%: derived from continuous SpO2 monitoring from pre-oxygenation through 60 minutes.;Hemodynamics (MAP, HR);Safety events (hypoxemia, hypotension, arrhythmia, rescue maneuver)
