Computer-assisted Oxygen Therapy Weaning in Critically Ill Children

The study is designed to evaluate the feasibility, safety and clinical utility of using an adaptive model to wean oxygen by computer assistance. Investigators hypothesize that weaning oxygen using this model will decrease duration of exposure to hyperoxia, decrease duration of exposure to hypoxia, decrease exposure to increased oxygen requirement, and decrease the number of manual fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) adjustments as compared to manual weaning of oxygen therapy.
