Trial summary

Preoxygenation optimizes oxygen content in the functional residual capacity (FRC). Adequate preoxygenation is defined by an expiratory oxygen fraction (FEO2) > 90%. Inspiratory support and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) can create a better reservoir, improve gas exchange and shorten the time needed for… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Efficacy and Tolerability of Different Levels of Inspiratory Support and PEEP During Preoxygenation. A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Preoxygenation optimizes oxygen content in the functional residual capacity (FRC). Adequate preoxygenation is defined by an expiratory oxygen fraction (FEO2) > 90%. Inspiratory support and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) can create a better reservoir, improve gas exchange and shorten the time needed for adequate preoxygenation. The goal of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of different levels of inspiratory support and positive end expiratory pressure during preoxygenation in healthy subjects.

Read the detailed description

We conducted a double blind prospective randomized trial on 20 healthy volunteers. Each subject went through three modes of preoxygenation in random order: normal breathing (SP), breathing under inspiratory support 4 cmH2O/PEEP 4 cmH2O (PSM-4) and inspiratory support 6 cmH2O /PEEP 4 cmH2O (PSM-6). Each mode lasted for 3 min and parameters were recorded every 10 s. We evaluated subject's tolerance, leaks and easiness of each mode of preoxygenation according to a simplified (1 to 4) scale. Two-way ANOVA was used to compare FEO2 while simple ANOVA was used for time to reach FEO2=90%.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jun 2009. 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 Canada. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

expiratory oxygen fraction (end-tidal 02). 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 NCT00922753, which also lists 17 linked publications.

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 18 Jun 2009.
