Randomised trial comparing controlled oxygen therapy with high-flow oxygen therapy in the treatment of patients with Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (AECOPD) in the pre-hospital setting


Sponsor

Associate Professor Richard Wood-Baker

Enrollment

150 participants

Start Date

Jul 1, 2006

Study Type

Interventional

Conditions

Summary

Purpose to determine if different oxygen therapies for patients having AECOPD in the pre-hospital setting have different outcomes (ie. Mortality, length of hospital stay, requirement for ventilation, difference ABGs)


Eligibility

Sex: Both males and femalesMin Age: 35 Yearss

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study compares two ways of giving oxygen to people having a flare-up of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) when they are picked up by ambulance. One approach uses carefully controlled oxygen levels, while the other uses high-flow oxygen. It is for people aged 35 and older with a confirmed COPD diagnosis who are being treated by ambulance staff.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
