Obstructive Airways Diseases in Emergency Department (OADED) Study

Terminated
Conditions
Asthma
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Registration Number
NCT02805127
Lead Sponsor
Oridion
Brief Summary

This is an observational study which aims to evaluate the possibility of using data from a capnography device to assess obstructive airway severity in both Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Asthma patients.

Detailed Description

This is a feasibility observational study which aims to evaluate the possibility of using data from a capnography device to assess obstructive airway severity in both COPD and Asthma patients. The study will include adults asthma and COPD patients (age \>18) that arrive at the Emergency Department (ED). Patients will be enrolled on a continuous basis and will be monitored by a capnograph and an oximeter before, during and after lung function assessment and medical treatment.
