Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the time needed to raise the oxygen concentration in patient's blood to 90% and his/or her body mass index. The prevalence of obesity in our society continues to rise. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 50 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Study population: The study population will consist of 100 subjects between the ages of 18-50 classified as ASA 1 or 2 with no limitations as to gender or race that are scheduled for elective surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. There are changes to lung functioning as functional residual capacity (FRC), closing capacity, and lung volume after age 50; therefore, the age limitation is set to age 50. Changes in lung and chest wall compliance necessitate the exclusion of anyone over the age of 50. Minors are also excluded as there is difficulty fitting the face mask due to a smaller physiology.

Who may be able to join

  • Participants between the ages of 18-50 years with no limitations as to gender or race
  • Participants classified as ASA 1 or 2
  • Participants capable of understanding and signing an informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Conditions which would affect their oxygenation such as heart disease, lung disease, anemia (Hemoglobin less than 12 g/dL)
  • History of smoking (smoking can affect pulmonary function and oxygen carrying capacity)
  • Acute substance abuse (substance abuse can affect respiratory function).
  • Maxillofacial abnormalities which would interfere with proper face mask seal.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the time needed to raise the oxygen concentration in patient's blood to 90% and his/or her body mass index. The prevalence of obesity in our society continues to rise. No studies have shown the time required for preoxygenation (oxygen given) in relation to body mass index (body weight in kg/height in meter2).

Read the detailed description

100% oxygen given to patient before induction of anesthesia (asleep) is the standard clinical care. However, studies using various methods have shown differences in terms of the optimal time, technique and number of breaths needed for efficient oxygenation. The only difference to the standard pre-anesthesia care is that we will record the time to raise patient oxygen to 90%. Age is recorded to ensure that the subjects fall within our inclusion criteria. The weight (W) in kilograms and height (H) in meters will be used to calculate the body mass index (BMI): BMI = W/H2. Alveolar oxygen uptake is dependent on respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure, temperature and hemoglobin level. These parameters are measured in order to identify factors that may affect the accuracy of the study. We will record the pulse oximetry value to note the initial oxygen saturation on room air and after the oxygenation.

Facial hair and mask fit are recorded to assess possible failure of an optimal facemask seal. End-tidal carbon dioxide (FE'CO2) is also measured to ensure an adequate facemask seal. Anxiety can increase the respiratory rate, heart rate and affect patient compliance with a fitted facemask. All of the aforementioned values are recorded to assess reasons for possible failure of the preoxygenation technique and inaccurate results.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01114932
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
BMI-IPatients with BMI values between 18.5-24.9
BMI-IIPatients with BMI values between 25-29.9
BMI-IIIPatients with BMI values between 30-49.9

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to reach 90% end tidal oxygen saturation using monitor and stop watch

    Using monitors on the anesthesia machine, we recorded the end tidal oxygen saturation value and also recorded the time at which the end tidal oxygen was recorded. From the information collected the relationship between BMI and gender with the time to 90% end tidal oxygen saturation will be evaluated.

    Measured: 1 to 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Body Weight and Obesity, run by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 15 Feb 2012. 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?

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?

Time to reach 90% end tidal oxygen saturation using monitor and stop watch (time frame: 1 to 10 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 15 Feb 2012.
