About this study

Official title: Automatic Oxygen Administration in Early and Late Postoperative Hypoxaemia Prevention After Major Abdominal and Thoracic Surgery

The aim of the study is to assess the use feasibility of the FreeO2 system so as to deliver automatically oxygen in the post anesthesia care unit in a patient population admitted for major abdominal and thoracic surgery.

The investigators' hypothesis is that FreeO2 system will provide a better control of the oxygen saturation and reduce postoperative hypoxaemia.

Being tested
FreeO2 v2.2 active, FreeO2 v2.2 with manual oxygenation

What participants receive

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FreeO2 v2.2 active and FreeO2 v2.2 with manual oxygenation in people with Major Thoracic and Abdominal Surgery, run by University Hospital, Brest at 5 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 15 inclusion and 6 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 16 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in France, Canada. 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.

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 (time frame: 3 days). 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 NCT02546830, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 16 Jan 2019.
