  • 3. Oxygen saturation =92% and respiratory rate =24/minute with maximum five litres of oxygen (or adjusted oxygen saturation cut-offs as clinically indicated (e.g. for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)) by the treating physician)
  • 4. Written informed consent (IC) for participation in the study
  • To be eligible to participate in this study, an informal caregiver must meet all of the following criteria:
