Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This will be a single centered prehospital multi-period cluster crossover feasibility trial, enrolling patients in Ottawa, Ontario, who are treated by paramedics from the Ottawa Paramedic Service, who have been trained in the use of the automated oxygen delivery device. We will be using the FreeO2 device. Patients requiring oxygen therapy during prehospital transportation will be enrolled. No randomization will occur within this single centered feasibility study
Patients requiring oxygen therapy during the prehospital transportation will be enrolled and will be included as soon as they are placed into the ambulance, until handover and transfer of care at receiving hospital.
In both groups, SpO2 will be collected continuously every second with FreeO2 monitoring, in addition to the collection of vital signs carried out by the staff according to the standards.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control group
In this group, the - usual care based upon BLS-PCS with manual titration of oxygen. In this group the SpO2 was recorded any time with FreeO2 device - recording mode.
Standard administration of oxygen flow
The flow of oxygen will be administered according to the usual protocol during the transport and until transfer to the emergency departement.
FreeO2 group
The adjustment of the oxygen flow will be made by the FreeO2 system, an automated titration to reach the SpO2 target set by paramedic.
Automated oxygen administration - FreeO2
The adjustment of the oxygen flow will be made by the FreeO2 system, an automated titration of oxygen flow every second to reach the SpO2 target. The SpO2 target will be set at 90% in COPD patients and 94% in trauma patients.

2. Able to measure SpO2 via pulse oximetry
Trauma patient:
I) Trauma: patients who sustain any trauma (minor or major), II) Able to measure SpO2 via pulse oximetry
Exclusion Criteria
* Pregnancy
* Age \<18 years
* Prehospital Invasive or non-invasive mechanical ventilation
