This prospective, observational study investigates the relationship between early oxygen exposure and oxidative stress in adult intensive care unit patients with sepsis or septic shock. Fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO₂) administered during the first 24 hours of ICU admission will be recorded and analyzed in relation to changes in the uric acid/albumin ratio (UAR), a biomarker reflecting oxidative burden and inflammation. Serum uric acid and albumin levels will be measured at baseline and at 24 hours, and the percentage change in UAR will be calculated. Secondary analyses will examine associations between UAR changes, oxygenation indices, and 28-day mortality. The study aims to determine whether higher FiO₂ exposure is associated with increased oxidative stress and to evaluate the potential role of UAR as a clinically accessible marker of oxygen-related oxidative injury in septic ICU patients.
