Impact of Oxygen Stewardship Training on Knowledge and Practice for Oxygen Administration Among Healthcare Professionals Working in the Rajkot District.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimTo evaluate the effectiveness of the oxygen stewardship training program in improving knowledge and practices regarding medical oxygen administration among healthcare professionals (HCPs) at the tertiary care teaching hospital.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among HCPs who participated in the oxygen stewardship training program at P.D.U. Government Medical College, Rajkot, India, in 2022. Pretest and posttest data were collected using a questionnaire to evaluate changes in their knowledge and practices regarding oxygen administration and analyzed with appropriate tests.
resultsA total of 50 HCPs participated in the study, with the majority aged 31-40 years (86%) and 56% being nurses. Before training, knowledge on oxygen stewardship, oxygen therapy criteria, device selection, and technical systems varied, with only 18 (47.4%) aware of initiation criteria and 13 (26%) aware of facility-wise oxygen demand estimation. Awareness of pressure swing adsorption plant (PSA), Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization (PESO), and Pin Index Safety System (PISS) was moderate to low. Post-training, significant improvements were observed: knowledge of oxygen therapy criteria rose to 36 (70.3%, p=0.044), oxygen device selection to 45 (90%, p=0.014), and demand estimation to 31 (61.2%, p<0.001). Awareness of PSA, PESO, and PISS also increased. Practice-related improvements were notable: oxygen prescription practices (82%-100%, p=0.002), correct mask fitting (88%-100%, p=0.001), high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) use (64%-96%, p<0.001), and ventilator handling (64%-100%, p<0.001). These findings suggest the training program effectively enhanced both knowledge and practical application.
conclusionThe oxygen stewardship training significantly improved HCPs' knowledge and practices, though additional focus on PSA systems, demand estimation, and ventilator management is needed to sustain these gains.
