Automated Oxygen Control by O2matic to Patients Admitted With Acute Hypoxemia

Denmark30 participantsStarted 2019-10-01

Plain-language summary

The aim of this study is to examine if automated oxygen delivery with O2matic allows for faster weaning from oxygen supply and better oxygen control than manually controlled oxygen therapy for patients admitted to the emergency department with acute hypoxemia. Furthermore it will be tested if O2matic compared to manual control allows for earlier discharge.
