Abstract
Abstract Background The oxygen challenge test (OCT) is an underutilized measure of lung recovery, easily performed prior to proceeding with a trial‐off V‐V ECLS as part of a weaning algorithm. Evidence‐based thresholds for OCT results which support continuing with V‐V ECLS weaning are lacking, making interpretation of these tests challenging in clinical practice. Methods We performed a retrospective review of patients commenced on V‐V ECLS as a bridge‐to‐recovery at Vancouver General Hospital from 2015–2019. The absolute PaO 2 post‐OCT and change in PaO 2 proportional to incremental FiO 2 change on the ventilator (∆PaO 2 ) were evaluated as predictive screening metrics for identifying conditions favorable for successful trial‐off of V‐V ECLS. Results An optimal cut‐off of PaO 2 ≥ 240 mm Hg post‐OCT (AUC 0.77) and ∆PaO 2 ≥ 250 mm Hg (AUC 0.76) was identified as a threshold for predicting successful trials‐off. A total of 26 and 24 patients achieved post‐OCT PaO 2 and ∆PaO 2 thresholds, and 100% of these patients were liberated successfully from ECLS during their admission. Conclusions The OCT can serve as an effective screen of shunt reduction and native lung recovery which can be used alongside other measures of ventilation to assess for suitability of liberation from V‐V ECLS prior to a trial‐off. Achieving a PaO 2 ≥ 240 mm Hg post‐OCT is a strong prognostic indicator for successful liberation from V‐V ECLS during ICU admission.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
