O2CoV2: Oxygen Requirements and Use in Patients With COVID-19 in LMICs
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This observational cohort study will enroll patients in LMICs with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 on oxygen or deemed to require oxygen therapy based on objective criteria. Demographics and risk factor information will be collected from participants. Participants will be followed for 7 days or until outcome (hospital discharge or death). Facility level metrics on oxygen availability will also be collected at the beginning of site enrolment.

Detailed Description
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted, more than ever, the acute need for scale up of oxygen therapy. WHO has provided an inventory tool to quantify facility-level provision of infrastructure to deliver oxygen therapy. However, data on the use of oxygen therapy at the patient-level remains lacking. This observational cohort study will enroll patients in LMICs with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 on oxygen or deemed to require oxygen therapy based on objective criteria. Demographics and risk factor information will be collected from participants. Participants will be followed for 7 days or until outcome (hospital discharge or death). Facility level metrics on oxygen availability will also be collected at the beginning of site enrolment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Proportion of patients receiving oxygen via each of various delivery devices. [Over first 7 days of hospitalization]
Oxygen delivery devices analysed: nasal cannulae, face mask, Venturi, NRB, HFNO, CPAP, NIV, IMV
- Proportion of patients progressing to invasive mechanical ventilation [Over first 7 days of hospitalization]
If available at facility
- Total oxygen requirements in patients receiving oxygen via each of various delivery devices. [Over first 7 days of hospitalization]
Daily oxygen use measured in liters. For nasal cannula, facemask, and non-rebreather FiO2 is assumed to be 1.0 and flow rates are adjustable in liters per minute. Liter per day consumption of O2 = device flow rate L/minute x 60 minutes/hr x 24 hr/day For high flow nasal cannula FiO2 is adjustable (defaulted to 1.0) and flow rate is adjustable in liters per minute. Liter per day consumption of O2 = device flow rate L/minute x 60 minutes/hr x 24 hr/day; flow rate in LPM = device flow rate x (FiO2 - 0.21)/0.79 For ventilator, CPAP, BIPAP/NIPPV FiO2 is adjustable (defaulted to 1.0) and flow rate is adjustable in liters per minute and dependent on multiple factors. Liter per day consumption of O2 = device O2 consumption rate L/minute x 60 minutes/hr x 24 hr/day Device O2 consumption rate in LPM = (Minute ventilation + (bias flow x RR x expiratory time/60) + leak) x (FiO2 - 0.21)/0.79
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Demographics and outcomes at hospital discharge of cohort of hospitalized patients [Until patient discharge from hospital or death, censored at 30 days.]
Baseline characteristics, daily parameters over 7 days, hospital outcomes
- Quantification of total oxygen supply at each facility [One time at beginning of enrolment]
Description of oxygen source, distribution and biomedical equipment at facility level and estimated oxygen capacity at the facility level
