Brief description/objective

Trauma poses a significant global health challenge. Despite advancements in the management of severely injured patients, (poly)trauma continues to be a primary contributor to morbidity and mortality worldwide. In the context of trauma resuscitation, supplemental oxygen is commonly administered generously as suggested by guidelines. Yet, it remains uncertain whether the trauma population might derive advantages from a more conservative approach to supplemental oxygen.
