Study Overview
Brief Summary
In France, the most used humidifying system during oxygen therapy is a non heated device with weak efficiency and non-proven clinical benefits. This study aims to assess the lack of benefits of non-heated humidification compared to no humidification, as regards to the comfort of the patient receiving oxygen therapy.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
A score of comfort assessed with a detailed and specific questionnaire
Time Frame: This score is assessed between the sixth and the eighth hour after randomization
This score is built from answers brought in a questionnaire including 15 items. Each item can be rated from 0 to 10, allowing to increment a score on 150 points.

- Percentage of patients who had an ear, nose and throat infections during their stay in intensive care unit or USC within the limits of 28 days.(Department discharge limited by day 28)
- mortality in intensive care unit or USC during ongoing stay within the limits of 28 days.(Department discharge limited by day 28)
- Percentage of patients requiring an intubation during their stay in intensive care unit or USC within the limits of 28 days.(Department discharge limited by day 28)
- The specific scores of comfort for each items(Hour 6-8)
- Observance level for oxygen therapy(Hour 6-8)
- The patients who had a lesion of corneas during their stay in intensive care unit or USC within the limits of 28 days(Department discharge limited by day 28)
- The length of stay in intensive care unit or USC(Department discharge limited by day 28)
