About this study

Official title: Automation of the Oxygen's Administration in Spontaneous Ventilation (FreeO2) During the Hypoxemic Acute Respiratory Distress

Aim: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use feasibility of FreeO2 so as to deliver automatically oxygen in the emergency department in a patient population admitted for acute respiratory failure.

Hypothesis: The principal hypothesis is that FreeO2 is possible and well-accepted by nurses and medical personnel and there are advantages to use this system. In comparison with the common oxygen delivery (the rotameter), the hypothesis is that FreeO2 system will make for a better control of the oxygen saturation in function of designed target, reducing the desaturation time and hyperoxia. We think that oxygen weaning will be faster than classical way if it is automated. In addition, FreeO2 could reduce the number of intervention by nurse personnel.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of time spent in the target zone of oxygen saturation in the acute phase of treatment

    The target zone of oxygen saturation is : SpO2 = 92-96% The "acute phase of treatment" is defined by the 3 first hours of treatment by oxygenation and/or until one hour after the end of this last.

    Measured: 3 hours or 1 hour after after cessation of oxygenation

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. nursing workload assessed by the number of manual Oxygen flow adjustments and airway management procedures

    Measured: 3 days max

  2. Time spent in a area of severe desaturation (SpO2 <88%) and a hyperoxia area (SpO2> 98%).

    Measured: 3 hours or 1 hour after after cessation of oxygenation

  3. Maintaining EtCO2 in a selected area

    Measured: 3 hours or 1 hour after after cessation of oxygenation

  4. Oxygen consumption measured at the end of administration

    Measured: 3 hours or 1 hour after after cessation of oxygenation

  5. Duration of administration during hospitalization

    Measured: 28 days max

  6. Number of complications related to the administration of oxygen

    Measured: 28 days max

  7. Frequency of use of invasive or noninvasive ventilation during hospitalization.

    Measured: 28 days max

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Device FreeO2 v2.0 in people with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Hypoxemia, run by University Hospital, Brest at 4 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Canada, France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of time spent in the target zone of oxygen saturation in the acute phase of treatment (time frame: 3 hours or 1 hour after after cessation of oxygenation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02027181, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Oct 2014.
