Use of Oxygen Hoods in Patients Failing on Conventional High-flow Oxygen Delivery Systems, Effects on Oxygenation in Hypoxic COVID-19 Patients. Prospective Cohort Study.

November 29, 2022 updated by: David Dayya, Northwell Health

The Use of Oxygen Hoods in Patients Failing on Conventional High-flow Oxygen Delivery Systems, the Effects on Oxygenation, Mechanical Ventilation and Mortality Rates in Hypoxic Patients With COVID-19. A Prospective Controlled Cohort Study.

To determine whether the use of oxygen hoods as compared to conventional high-flow oxygen delivery systems, and the effects on oxygenation, mechanical ventilation and mortality rates in hypoxic patients with COVID-19.

Detailed Description

To determine whether Oxygen hoods improve O2-saturation (SaO2), and how they effect length of hospitalization, and in-hospital mechanical ventilation and mortality rates in Covid-19 patients when compared to conventional high-flow oxygen delivery systems. Oxy-hemoglobin saturation is continuously measured by pulse-oximetry including immediately before and after oxygen hood placement, and will be measured in controls.

Comparison/Control Group The control cohort includes COVID-19 patients presenting for treatment prior to 4/3/20 when hyperbaric oxygen hoods were not available. Patients maintained on, or those failing on conventional O2- delivery systems and subsequently receiving mechanical ventilation will be studied.

All patients included must have tested positive using PCR swabs and/or been diagnosed based on clinical/laboratory standard diagnostic criteria. Medical management will include evolving treatment regimens and other standard medical treatments widely used at time of study in all hypoxic COVID-19 patients.

Prognostic/confounding covariates are to be collected through Electronic Medical Record (EMR) chart review and compared between intervention and control cohorts. including: Age, Body Mass Index (BMI), Gender, Chronic Lung disease - COPD, Asthma (CLD), cardiovascular disease - CAD, CHF, Chronic Dysrhythmia (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), Immunosuppression - History of Cancer, Immunosuppressive medication, HIV (Immunosuppression), Diabetes Mellitus (DM), and pertinent lab markers.

Routine follow-up evaluation is maintained until final in-hospital outcomes are known including:

  1. Oxygen Difference pre/post-hood (SaO2 difference, %)
  2. Intubation/MV status (Intubated)
  3. Survival/Mortality (Expired)
  4. Hospital Length of Stay (LOS, days)

Randomization/Blinding Randomization is not possible as it is unethical to deny a hypoxic patient an alternative approved means of oxygenation for patients failing on conventional oxygen delivery systems. No blinding of participants or investigators.

Study Population

All COVID-19 patients presenting to the hospital prior to the availability of oxygen hoods were reviewed for eligibility and assignment to the control cohort.

All COVID-19 patients presenting to the hospital after the availability of oxygen hoods were reviewed for eligibility and assignment to the intervention cohort if they were failing on conventional high-flow oxygen delivery systems.

Description

Inclusion Criteria

  • Hospital census is reviewed for ALL patients seen in the Emergency Department admitted with COVID -19 diagnosis and experiencing hypoxia requiring supplemental high-flow oxygen delivery or who have required mechanical ventilation.
  • Consent (native language services provided).
  • No limitations/restrictions on age, sex, race/ethnicity, comorbidities, pregnancy status, DNR/DNI status.

Exclusion Criteria

  • SaO2 > 90% on conventional high-flow O2-delivery system.
  • Confinement anxiety post-oxygen hood placement with request for removal.
