Comparison of Multiple Oxygenation Targets With Different Oximeters in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Non-COPD Patients- Impact on Oxygen Flows
Comparison of Multiple Oxygenation Targets With Different Oximeters in COPD and Non-COPD Patients- Impact on Oxygen Flows
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 9 Mar 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The oximeter is an instrument for monitoring patients receiving oxygen therapy. It displays pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2), which is a reflection of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2). An accurate SpO2 value is essential for optimal management of the O2 flow delivered to patients. Several factors can influence this measurement and the choice of ventilatory support: the type of oximeter used, skin pigmentation and the oxygenation goal. The objective of our study is to evaluate the impact of the oxygenation goal and the oximeter used on oxygen flows in patients with COPD (or with hypercapnia, or at risk of hypercapnia) and in patients without COPD (in particular pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis and other pathologies) Our hypothesis is that the SpO2 target and oximeter used will have an impact on oxygen flows and that these effects will be synergistic in these different populations.
