Recently, hyperoxia has been recognized as being potentially deleterious for critically ill patients, with increased duration of mechanical ventilation and even with increased mortality rates. This could be related to pulmonary lesions (including notably atelectasis) but also to increased tissue damage and organ dysfunctions, secondary to increased/induced oxidative stress. At last higher FiO2 led to "over-consumption" of oxygen and therefore to additional costs. Usually, FiO2 and oxygen flows are modified according to the monitoring of SpO2. But, it has also been recognized that modifying FiO2 (and oxygen flows) according to SpO2 monitoring is not routinely (or easily) done. Indeed, nurses (and doctors) are reluctant to reduce oxygen flows when everything appear under control. The ORI (Oxygen Reserve Index) is an index measured using non-invasive SpO2 sensors (Rainbow sensors- MASIMO) that evaluates non-invasively PaO2 (partial pressure of oxygen). An ORI ≤0 indicates that PaO2 is less than 100 mmHg. When ORI increases (i.e. ORI≥0.01) PaO2 is higher than 100 mmHg. This index increases up to 1. ORI between 0.01 and 1 indicates that PaO2 is probably between 100 and 200 mmHg. Thus, monitoring critically ill patients using the ORI, may help identifying when PaO2 is high and when FiO2 (or oxygen flows in non-intubated patients) may be reduced. This could help reducing the time with hyperoxia (i.e. PaO2 ≥100 mmHg or ≥80 mmHg). The purpose of this feasibility study is to evaluate if the use of ORI can help to decrease length of moderate hyperoxia (PaO2\>100mmHg) in critically ill patients, in comparison with monitoring the SpO2 only.

If ORI is equal to 0.00, the FiO2 (or oxygen flow) is not changed. if ORI is ≥ 0.01, Nurses must decrease the FiO2 (or oxygen flow) by 10%, until ORI is =0. if SpO2 is \< lower individualized limit, FiO2 (or oxygen flow) is increased by 10%, if it happens twice, doctors are called.
If SpO2 is below the upper individualized limit, the FiO2 (or oxygen flow) is not changed. If SpO2 is equal or above this limit, Nurses must reduce the FiO2 (or oxygen flow) by 10% every 10 minutes until SpO2 is ≤ upper individualized limit, with FiO2≥25 %. if SpO2 is \< lower individualized limit, FiO2 (or oxygen flow) is increased by 10%, if it happens twice, doctors are called.

Percentage of days with moderate hyperoxia
The primary endpoint is the percentage of days with moderate hyperoxia. Moderate hyperoxia is defined by a PaO2\> 100 mmHg - measured on blood gases obtained in usual practicePaO2 will be followed by the inclusion until the end of mechanical ventilation or D28 or ICU discharge. The percentage of days with moderate hyperoxia is (number of days of moderate hyperoxia / number of days of oxygen therapy) x100. The follow up will occurs from inclusion to the end of mechanical ventilation or Day 28 if patient is still mechanically ventilated or ICU discharge
Time frame: inclusion to the end of mechanical ventilation or Day 28 if patient is still mechanically ventilated or ICU discharge
Minimum and maximum daily FiO2
The secondary endpoints are the minimum and maximum daily FiO2, obtained by respirator in each group. FiO2 will be followed by the inclusion until the end of oxygenotherapy or D28.
Time frame: inclusion to the end of mechanical ventilation or Day 28 if patient is still mechanically ventilated or ICU discharge
Minimum and maximum daily PaO2
The secondary endpoints are the minimum and maximum daily PaO2, (measured by blood gases obtained in usual practice ) . PaO2 will be followed by the inclusion until the end of oxygenotherapy or D28.
Time frame: inclusion to the end of mechanical ventilation or Day 28 if patient is still mechanically ventilated or ICU discharge
Length of mechanical ventilation
The secondary endpoint is the length of mechanical ventilation, (unit: day number)
Time frame: inclusion to the end of mechanical ventilation or Day 28 if patient is still mechanically ventilated or ICU discharge
Number of day with PaO2 equal or above to 80 mmHg
The secondary endpoint is the number of the day where patient is mechanically ventilated and has a PaO2 equal or above to 100 mmHg and 80 mmHg . PaO2 is measured by blood gases obtained in usual practice . this outcome will be followed by the inclusion until the end of mechanical ventilation or D28.
Time frame: inclusion to the end of mechanical ventilation or Day 28 if patient is still mechanically ventilated or ICU discharge
Number of hypoxemia episode
The secondary endpoint is the number (in day) of hypoxemia (defined by PaO2\<60 mmHg - measured by blood gases obtained in usual practice). PaO2 will be followed by the inclusion until the end of oxygenotherapy or D28.
Time frame: inclusion to the end of mechanical ventilation or Day 28 if patient is still mechanically ventilated or ICU discharge
Number of day without mechanical ventilation at D28
The secondary endpoint is the number of day without mechanical ventilation at D28. It will be followed by the inclusion until D28.
Time frame: inclusion to D28
Number of atelectasis episodes requiring specific medical care (that means fibro-aspiration or posture of patient)
The secondary endpoint is the number of atelectasis episodes requiring specific medical care. It will be followed by the inclusion until the end of mechanical ventilation or D28.
Time frame: inclusion to the end of mechanical ventilation or Day 28 if patient is still mechanically ventilated or ICU discharge
Average daily PaO2
The primary endpoint is the average daily PaO 2 in each group (measured by blood gases obtained in usual practice ) . PaO2 will be followed by the inclusion until the end of oxygenotherapy or D28.
Time frame: inclusion to the end of mechanical ventilation or Day 28 if patient is still mechanically ventilated or ICU discharge
Number of moderate hypoxemia hours
this outcomes follows the formula: Moderate hypoxia (in hours) = a + b. With a = the sum of the durations (in hours) between two GDS having a PaO2\> 100mmHg and b = the sum of the half times (in hours) between a GDS having a PaO2\> 100mmHg and a GDS having a PaO2 ≤ 100mmHg
