Abstract

Background:

It has not been determined that demand valve oxygen therapy is effective for nocturnal hypoxia. A portable oxygen concentrator with an auto-demand oxygen delivery system (auto-DODS; standard, high, and extra high) has recently been developed to improve oxygenation and comfort. This oxygen concentrator can supply a pulsed flow when it detects apnoea. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that this newly developed portable oxygen concentrator with an auto-demand function is non-inferior to a continuous-flow oxygen concentrator for nocturnal hypoxemia.

Methods:

Twenty patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or interstitial pneumonia will be randomized to receive a portable oxygen concentrator with an auto-DODS or a continuous-flow oxygen concentrator during sleep. The primary endpoint is mean oxygen saturation (SpO2) during the total sleep time. The secondary endpoints are the ratios of time that the oxygen concentrator spends in each sensitivity mode (standard, high, and extra-high) and at a constant pulse rate to the total sleep time, the total time and ratio of time for which SpO2 is less than 90% during the total sleep time, the lowest value of SpO2 during the total sleep time, the mean and highest pulse rate during the total sleep time, the apnoea index during the total sleep time, the total sleep duration itself, and comfort and reliability as measured by numerical rating scale and questionnaires.

Discussion:

If the auto-DODS demonstrates non-inferiority to continuous flow in oxygenation during sleep, the auto-DODS can be used even at night, and the patient will need only 1 device.

Trial Registration:

The study was registered on Aug 23, 2019 (jRCTs052190042).

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen

Oxygen therapy is a pivotal aspect of medical care, particularly for patients with respiratory ailments. Two prominent oxygen-delivering systems include the Venturi mask and the transtracheal oxygen catheter.
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...

Oxygen Delivering System I: Nasal Cannula and Face Mask

Oxygen Delivering System I: Nasal Cannula and Face Mask

The human body requires oxygen to function, and when the natural process of respiration is hindered, external devices, including the following, are needed to help deliver this vital gas.
Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.
Oxygen percentage setting:...

Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Oxygen Therapy for Respiratory Failure

Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Oxygen Therapy for Respiratory Failure

Oxygen therapy has emerged as a significant tool in enhancing the quality of life for patients suffering from pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). While this therapy has principally been studied on patients with significant hypoxemia, this therapeutic approach helps prevent potential organ damage and can be administered in the comfort of one's home.
Oxygen therapy is vital in increasing and maintaining blood oxygen levels in PAH patients. As a result, it aids in reducing fatigue,...

Oxygen Delivering System III: Tracheostomy and T-piece

Oxygen Delivering System III: Tracheostomy and T-piece

Oxygen delivery is critical in clinical care, especially for patients with respiratory disorders or those undergoing surgical procedures. Various systems, such as tracheostomy and the T-piece, deliver oxygen to the lungs, ensuring adequate arterial oxygenation.
Tracheostomy
A tracheostomy is a surgically created opening (stoma) in the anterior part of the trachea. It is used to establish a patient airway, bypass an upper airway obstruction, simplify the removal of secretions, permit long-term...

Administering Oxygen by Mask

Administering Oxygen by Mask

Administering Oxygen by Mask
Administering oxygen by mask is a common nursing intervention that provides supplemental oxygen to patients with respiratory distress or chronic lung conditions. This procedure involves delivering oxygen at a specified rate through a face mask connected to an oxygen source.
Equipment
The equipment necessary for this procedure includes:

Crossover Experiments

Crossover Experiments

Crossover experiments, also called the repeated-measurements design, is a study design in which all experimental units are exposed to all treatments in different periods. Crossover experiments are generally used in psychology, the pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, and medicine.
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.
