SpO2, arterial oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry; SOFA, sequential organ failure assessment. *n = 25 subjects. †Severe organ failure defined as SOFA ≥ 10. ‡ Vasoconstrictor use includes dopamine > 5 mcg/kg/min or any dose of norepinephrine or vasopressin. ‡‡Endovascular denotes bacteremia without detectable extravascular source of infection.
