Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the FreeO2 system on the quality of the oxygen therapy in confirmed or suspected SARS-CoV-2 patients in the emergency department. The quality of oxygen therapy is evaluated by the time spent in the SpO2 target (+/- 2% SpO2 target), time spent in hyperoxemia (> 5% SpO2 target), time spent in hyperoxemia (<5% SpO2 target).

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of time in the saturation target in patients on automated oxygen titration device.
Time Frame: From the initiation of oxygen therapy with FreeO2 until the date of emergency department discharge or Stop of oxygen therapy with FreeO2 whichever came first, assessed up to 3 day after emergency admission
The percentage of time in target is defined by the percentage of time of (Target - 3% target) < SpO2 value < (Target + 3%) of the selected Spo2 target using automated oxygen titration device.
From the initiation of oxygen therapy with FreeO2 until the date of emergency department discharge or Stop of oxygen therapy with FreeO2 whichever came first, assessed up to 3 day after emergency admission

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description

Time Frame: From the initiation of oxygen therapy with FreeO2 until the date of emergency department discharge or Stop of oxygen therapy with FreeO2 whichever came first, assessed up to 3 day after emergency admission
The percentage of time in hyperoxemia defined as a SpO2 value > 5% from the target.
From the initiation of oxygen therapy with FreeO2 until the date of emergency department discharge or Stop of oxygen therapy with FreeO2 whichever came first, assessed up to 3 day after emergency admission
Oxygenation data - severe hypoxemia
Time Frame: From the initiation of oxygen therapy with FreeO2 until the date of emergency department discharge or Stop of oxygen therapy with FreeO2 whichever came first, assessed up to 3 day after emergency admission
The percentage of time in hypoxemia defined as a SpO2 value < 85%
From the initiation of oxygen therapy with FreeO2 until the date of emergency department discharge or Stop of oxygen therapy with FreeO2 whichever came first, assessed up to 3 day after emergency admission
Oxygenation data - mild hypoxemia
Time Frame: From the initiation of oxygen therapy with FreeO2 until the date of emergency department discharge or Stop of oxygen therapy with FreeO2 whichever came first, assessed up to 3 day after emergency admission
The percentage of time in mild hypoxemia defined as a : (Target - 5% target) < SpO2 value < (Target - 2%)
From the initiation of oxygen therapy with FreeO2 until the date of emergency department discharge or Stop of oxygen therapy with FreeO2 whichever came first, assessed up to 3 day after emergency admission
