FreeDom Strategy
for COPD Exacerbations
The main objective of the study is to assess the "FreeDom" innovative strategy (FreeO2 at Domicile) to reduce hospitalization duration in patients with COPD exacerbation. This strategy associates early hospital discharge, automated O2 flow weaning with FreeO2 system, telemedicine and tele-rehabilitation. The main hypothesis of this study is that the FreeDom strategy will reduce the number of hospitalization day by 50 percent at day 30.

Oximeter Comparison
for Low Oxygen Levels
The oximeter is used to monitor intensive care patients undergoing oxygen therapy. It indicates pulsed oxygen saturation (SpO2), a reflection of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) which enables detection of hypoxemia and hyperoxia, both deleterious state. Current SpO2 recommendations aim to reduce both risk of hypoxemia and hyperoxia. SpO2 is considered the 5th vital sign. Current recommendations for SpO2 targets do not consider the variability of oximeters used in clinical practice. This variability and lack of specification represent an obstacle to an optimal practice of oxygen therapy. Thus, this study aims to compare the SpO2 values of different oximeters (General Electric-GE, Medtronic, Masimo and Nonin) used in clinical practice with the SaO2 reference value obtained by an arterial gas in order to specify the precision and the systematic biases of the oximeters studied. This data will also make it possible to refine the recommendations concerning optimal oxygenation
