RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment

Summary

The motivation for this study comes from a desire to improve the mortality of patients with sepsis. Oxygen is cheap, readily available and is included in current United Kingdom Emergency Department guidelines, but it may also be harmful to patients with sepsis - it is important to know if this is the case. This study is a pilot study to also assess the feasibility of delivering a larger adequately powered study.
