Optimizing energy expenditure and oxygenation toward ventilator tolerance is associated with lower ventilator and intensive care unit days

CONCLUSION Optimizing the patient's nutritional regimen to ventilator tolerance and optimizing oxygenation by means of targeted pulmonary mechanics and inspired FIO2 may be associated with lower ventilator and ICU days, as well as overall complication rates. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic, Level IV.
