Study Overview
Brief Summary
Aim of the study is to investigate the impact of two different fractions of inspired oxygen (FiO2) on outcome in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Detailed Description
The high oxygen group is treated during mechanical ventilation with either a fraction of inspired oxygen of 0.7 (high oxygen group) or a fraction of inspired oxygen 0.4 (control group). The intervention continues until withdrawal of mechanical ventilation, ICU discharge or until 14 days from ICU randomisation.
Primary outcome is worse than expected outcome in the corresponding treatment arms based on outcome meas-ured by the probability of bad outcome using the CRASH® risk calculator (prognostic model for predicting outcome after traumatic brain injury).
Secondary outcome is occurence of lung injury during mechanical ventilation.

- •Multiple trauma patient with brain injury and traumas outside abdomen, thorax or pelvis not affecting oxygenation
- •Glasgow coma scale eight or less (inclusive)
- •Expected need for intubation and for mechanical ventilation more than 24 hours.

Arms & Interventions
Fraction of inspired oxygen of 0.4
Fraction of inspired normobaric oxygen of 0.4 (low oxygen group)
Intervention: Normobaric oxygen (Other)
Fraction of inspired oxygen of 0.7
Fraction of inspired normobaric oxygen of 0.7 (high oxygen group)
Intervention: Normobaric oxygen (Other)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Glasgow outcome scale(GOS) and/or Extended glasgow outcome scale (GOSE)
Time Frame: 6 months
The study is powered to have 80% power at 5% significance level to detect a treatment effect that decreases the proportion of poor outcome from 55% to 45%. Each patient is given an individualized tailored prognosis based on patient's baseline prognosis in a large reference population. Outcome is measured by using functional outcome score, Glasgow outcome score (GOS) and/or GOS extended (GOSE).
Secondary Outcomes
- 6 month outcome(6 months)
