Obstructive Airways Diseases in Emergency Department (OADED) Study

Oridion12 enrolled

Overview

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.

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.
