About this trial

This is an interventional other trial for Coronavirus

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age> 18 years old
  • patients with acute respiratory failure related to suspected community acquired pneumonia (viral and non viral) requiring oxygen therapy < 6 L/min (or FiO2< 0.50) (to maintain SpO2 between 90 and 94% SpO2) without criteria for immediate intubation or ICU transfer.
  • Patients hospital admission < 72 hours

Exclusion Criteria:

  • shock state,
  • no SpO2 signal available,
  • patient agitation,
  • pH < 7.30 (if blood gas available)
  • PaCO2 > 50 mmHg, (if blood gas available) or chronic hypercapnia history
  • Non invasive respiratory support (NIV, High flow Nasal Therapy (HFNT)) at study inclusion
  • Withdrawal of life support or palliation as the goal of care
  • patients' or next of kin refusal to participate to the study

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The number of interventions
The number of interventions required by healthcare workers to manage oxygen therapy (titration, weaning and monitoring) during 4 hours
Duration of interventions
The number of interventions required by healthcare workers to manage oxygen therapy (titration, weaning and monitoring) during 4 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Mean oxygen flow
The Mean oxygen flow during study duration to evaluate oxygen consumption
Time within theSpO2 target
Time within SpO2 between 90 and 94%
Time with hypoxemia
Time within SpO2 < 88%
Time with hyperoxemia
Time within SpO2 > 96%
Rate of ICU admission
Rate of ICU admission
Rate of needed non invasive respiratory support
Rate of needed non invasive respiratory support Non invasive ventilation or High Flow Nasal Therapy
Rate of intubation

NEWS 2 score evolution
Evaluation of NEWS 2 score evolution (National Early Warning score) correlate to patient evolution. The NEWS2 score will be calculate but no intervention will be made based on this score. Patient evolution will be compare at NEWS 2 interpretation. Interpretation A low score (NEWS 1-4) should prompt assessment by a competent registered nurse who should decide if a change to frequency of clinical monitoring or an escalation of clinical care is required. A medium score (ie NEWS of 5-6 or a RED score) should consider whether escalation of care to a team with critical-care skills is required (ie critical care outreach team). A high score (NEWS ≥7) should prompt emergency assessment by a clinical team/critical care outreach team with critical-care competencies and usually transfer of the patient to a higher dependency care area.
EWSO2 score evolution
Evaluation of EWSO2 score(Early Warning ScoreO2) evolution correlate to patient evolution The EWSO2 score will be calculate but no intervention will be made based on this score. Patient evolution will be compare at EWSO2 interpretation. Interpretation Favorable clinical outcome in patients with a score <5.3 A patient with a score >18.6 will experience a poor outcome.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
There is a high risk of transmission of COVID-19 to healthcare workers. In a recent cohort, 29% of the patients hospitalized were healthcare workers. Among the WHO's primary strategic objectives for the response to COVID-19, the first was to limit human-to-human transmission, including reducing secondary infections among close contacts and health care workers. Automated oxygen titration, weaning and monitoring (FreeO2 device) may be a solution to reduce the number of interventions of healthcare workers related to oxygen therapy, to reduce complications related to oxygen and to improve monitoring.
