Clinical trial finds AI system improves oxygen delivery in hospital patients
A University of Colorado Anschutz-led clinical trial has found an automated oxygen delivery system helped hospitalized patients spend significantly more time in their target oxygen range compared with standard care, while also reducing exposure to both low and high oxygen levels. Patients in the automated group spent 85% of their time in the target oxygen range compared with 63% in the standard…
A clinical trial led by the University of Colorado Anschutz found that an automated oxygen delivery system improved oxygen levels for hospitalized patients. Those who used the automated system spent 85% of their time within the target oxygen range, compared to 63% in the standard care group. The study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, involved 300 adults at four U.S. hospitals and demonstrated that the autonomous system reduced exposure to both low and high oxygen levels.
The real-time system continuously adjusted oxygen flow based on pulse oximetry measurements, reducing manual adjustments by clinicians. This technology could transform oxygen delivery in both civilian and military medicine, potentially reducing workload for healthcare professionals.
