Validation and Characterization of Signal Decrease on an Oximeter in COPD (They Have Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) Patients During Deep Inhalation (

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions

Pulmonary Disease
Interventions
Other: Measurements of oxygen saturation and finger pressure during deep inspiration
Registration Number
NCT03966196
Lead Sponsor
Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc- Université Catholique de Louvain
Brief Summary

The objective is to verify that there is a decrease in the pulsed oxygen saturation with the digital sensor. That is, the drop in oxygen saturation in COPD patients during inhalation is real and not due to an artifact of the measuring tool, because oximeters need a quality pulsatile signal to properly measure oxygen saturation
