Trial summary

The UMOX is a device that has been designed as an alternative to the conventional face mask for preoxygenation to be used when an optimal preoxygenation with a facemask is difficult to achieve(i.e: when a leak is present. Read more about this study

About this study

The UMOX is a device that has been designed as an alternative to the conventional face mask for preoxygenation to be used when an optimal preoxygenation with a facemask is difficult to achieve(i.e: when a leak is present. A previous study in our hospital (unpublished data) has shown that the UMOX was only as effective as the conventional mask when a nose clip was used to prevent the patients from breathing in some air through the nose, thus preventing the dilution/contamination of the 100% oxygen delivered.In that study, the verbal indication giving to the subjects to breathe through the mouth was better than no indication at all but still yielded unsatisfactory results.

For this reason, the present study was designed to verify the hypothesis that while using the UMOX for preoxygenation, the verbal indication of breathing 8 vital capacity breaths added to the indication of breathing through the mouth would bring equivalent results -measured by the expired fraction of oxygen- as a preoxygenation of normal tidal breathing through a facemask during 3 to 5 minutes.

Preoxygenation was performed with the 60 volunteers placed in the supine position with 100% oxygen. All volunteers went though preoxygenation with two techniques: 1) breathing normal tidal volumes at a normal respiratory rate for a period of 5 minutes through a tight fitting conventional face mask, and 2) eight deep breaths (i.e. vital capacity breaths) through the UMOX device with verbal indication to use only the mouth to breathe.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Preoxygenation, run by Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 23 Nov 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.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 Nov 2009.
