What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. A score of comfort assessed with a detailed and specific questionnaire

    This score is built from answers brought in a questionnaire including 15 items. Each item can be rated from 0 to 10, allowing to increment a score on 150 points.

    Measured: This score is assessed between the sixth and the eighth hour after randomization

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. The specific scores of comfort for each items

    Measured: Hour 6-8

  2. Observance level for oxygen therapy

    Measured: Hour 6-8

  3. Percentage of patients requiring a fibroscopic aspirations during their stay in intensive care unit or USC within the limits of 28 days.

    Measured: Department discharge limited by day 28

  4. Percentage of patients requiring an intubation during their stay in intensive care unit or USC within the limits of 28 days.

    Measured: Department discharge limited by day 28

  5. Percentage of patients who had an ear, nose and throat infections during their stay in intensive care unit or USC within the limits of 28 days.

    Measured: Department discharge limited by day 28

  6. The patients who had a lesion of corneas during their stay in intensive care unit or USC within the limits of 28 days

    Measured: Department discharge limited by day 28

  7. The length of stay in intensive care unit or USC

    Measured: Department discharge limited by day 28

  8. mortality in intensive care unit or USC during ongoing stay within the limits of 28 days.

    Measured: Department discharge limited by day 28
