Acute cardiac care & resuscitation
Automated oxygen administration versus manual control in acute cardiovascular care: a randomised controlled trial
Authors' conclusion
AOA with the O2matic device is superior to standard manual control in maintaining SpO2 within the target range in patients hospitalised with acute cardiovascular conditions. The automated systems significantly reduce the time spent in hypoxaemia without increasing hyperoxia.
Study context
- Population
- Patients admitted to a cardiac department with an acute cardiovascular condition requiring oxygen therapy
- Participants
- 60 patients
- Comparison
- Automated oxygen administration vs standard manual oxygen administration
- AOAn = 25
- Standard caren = 28reference
- Primary endpoint
- Percentage of time within the desired SpO2 range (92%-96% or 94%-98%)
- Follow-up
- 24 hours
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Time within target SpO2 range
P < 0.001
Further findings
Time below desired SpO2 range
P < 0.001
Time above desired SpO2 range
- No significant differences between the two groups
