Brief summary
The trial aims to evaluate whether the Airvo 3 device in OptiO2 mode can maintain patients' SpO2 levels within the target range better than manual oxygen titration in hospitalized COPD patients with hypoxemia/respiratory distress.
Interventions
Nasal high flow with closed loop oxygen control
Nasal high flow with manual titration
