Automatic Oxygen Administration After Major Abdominal and Thoracic Surgery

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Major Thoracic and Abdominal Surgery
Interventions
Device: FreeO2 v2.2 with manual oxygenation
Device: FreeO2 v2.2 active
Registration Number
NCT02546830
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Brest
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to assess the use feasibility of the FreeO2 system so as to deliver automatically oxygen in the post anesthesia care unit in a patient population admitted for major abdominal and thoracic surgery.

The investigators' hypothesis is that FreeO2 system will provide a better control of the oxygen saturation and reduce postoperative hypoxaemia.
