Trial Outcomes & Findings for Comparison of Oxygen Delivery Devices for Reversal of Altitude-Induced Hypoxemia in Normal Subjects (NCT NCT01477450)

NCT ID: NCT01477450

Last Updated: 2014-09-26

Results Overview

Oxygen will be titrated from either an oxygen concentrator or an oxygen cylinder in liters per minute until the oxygen saturation returns to the sea level value. The flow in liters per minute is the dependent variables. Each participant will experience induced hypoxemia followed by cylinder oxygen delivery; each will also experience induced hypoxemia followed by pulse-dose oxygen from a concentrator.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 50 minutes

Oxygen will be titrated from either an oxygen concentrator or an oxygen cylinder in liters per minute until the oxygen saturation returns to the sea level value. The flow in liters per minute is the dependent variables. Each participant will experience induced hypoxemia followed by cylinder oxygen delivery; each will also experience induced hypoxemia followed by pulse-dose oxygen from a concentrator.
