Trial summary

Subjects undergoing elective ERCP and EUS will receive standard monitoring and sedation. In addition, capnography which measures carbon dioxide levels and can graphically assess respiratory activity will be used. Subjects will be randomized to either a capnography blinded or titration arm. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Does Capnography Prevent Hypoxemia During ERCP and EUS? A Randomized, Controlled Trial

Subjects undergoing elective ERCP and EUS will receive standard monitoring and sedation. In addition, capnography which measures carbon dioxide levels and can graphically assess respiratory activity will be used. Subjects will be randomized to either a capnography blinded or titration arm. In the capnography titration arm, the endoscopy team would be made aware of capnographic abnormalities as they arise throughout the procedure. In the capnography blinded arm, this information will not be available to the endoscopy team and represents standard of care. It is our hypothesis that using capnography can prevent low oxygen levels known as hypoxemia, during these procedures.

Subjects undergoing elective ERCP and EUS will receive standard monitoring and sedation. In addition, capnography which measures carbon dioxide levels and can graphically assess respiratory activity will be used. Subjects will be randomized to either a capnography blinded or titration arm. In the capnography titration arm, the endoscopy team would be made aware of capnographic abnormalities as they arise throughout the procedure. In the capnography blinded arm, this information will not be available to the endoscopy team and represents standard of care. It is our hypothesis that using capnography can prevent low oxygen levels known as hypoxemia, during these procedures. The primary outcome of our study is the proportion of patients with hypoxemia in the two arms. Review of the literature indicates that the incidence of hypoxemia without supplemental oxygen varies from 30-70%. Our sample size calculation is based on a reduction of the hypoxemia incidence from 40% to 20%. Secondary outcomes will be the proportions of patients with oxygen requirements, major hypoxemia and apnea (lack of respiratory activity via capnography for at least 15 seconds) in the two arms. We will perform a univariable and multivariable analysis to determine the risk factors for apnea.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CapnographyDiagnostic test

    Also called Oridion Capnomater and CapnoBiteBloc

    Capnography: Passive measurement of carbon dioxide via a special bite block which allows graphic assessment of the subject's respiratory activity

Study groups in NCT00675415
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CapnographyActive comparatorCapnography: Subjects randomized to capnography-titration arm: The endoscopy team would be made aware of the capnographic abnormalities as they arise. In this arm, the endoscopy team will have the graphic representation of respiratory activity (capnography) as well as end-epxiratory levels of carbon dioxide in addition to the normal physiologic monitoring portfolio of pulse oximetry, blood pressure and electrocradiography. This observation phase would take place for a baseline prior to sedation, during the administration of sedation as well as throughout the procedure. Monitoring for the study would stop upon completion of the endoscopic procedure.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Capnography
Standard MonitoringNo interventionSubjects randomized to capnography-blinded arm: In this arm, the endoscopy team will not have the graphic representation of respiratory activity (capnography) as well as end-expiratory levels of carbon dioxide available. Only a standard of care physiologic monitoring portfolio of pulse oximetry, blood pressure and electrocradiography at the disposal of the endoscopy team to titrate the sedative medications.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants Experiencing Hypoxemia During Endoscopy

    Hypoxemia was defined as oxygen saturation less than 90 percent for at least 15 seconds.

    Measured: Continuously Assessed during a single endoscopic procedure, typically about 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Proportion of Participants Requiring Supplemental Oxygen

    Measured: Continuously measured during endoscopy, typically about 2 hours

  2. Proportion of Participants Experiencing Severe Hypoxemia

    Measured: Continuously measured during endoscopy, typically about 2 hours

  3. Proportion of Participants Experiencing Apnea

    Measured: Continuously measured during endoscopy, typically about 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Capnography in people with Hypoxemia, run by The Cleveland Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 May 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants Experiencing Hypoxemia During Endoscopy (time frame: Continuously Assessed during a single endoscopic procedure, typically about 2 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00675415, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Nov 2017.
