Trial summary

Recently, the investigators demonstrated that nasal route ventilation is superior to the nasal-oral combined ventilation in the absence of jaw thrust and chin up maneuvers. The investigators hypothesize nasal mask ventilation may reduce the incidence of difficult mask ventilation during the induction of general… 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 65 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • 18-65 years of age
  • ASA physical status classification I-II
  • general anesthesia
  • elective surgery
  • who are able to breathe through both their nose and mouth while awake

Who cannot join

  • Patients with major cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, cerebral vascular disease or American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status class III or greater.
  • Abnormal vital signs on the day of admission for surgery [heart rate (HR, >100 bpm or <40 bpm), blood pressure (BP, >180/100 mmHg or <90/60 mmHg), room air transcutaneous oxyhemoglobin saturation (SPO2) <96%] that are not correctable with his or her routine medication or commonly used pre-operative medication.
  • Unable to open mouth (<2.5 cm) or unable to breathe through their mouth or nose.
  • Any person with an anticipated difficult airway. This will include subjects that require or may require either a fiberoptic intubation or intubation while awake.
  • Gastric-esophageal reflex or a full stomach.
  • Neurological symptoms associated with neck extension, a neurological deficit from a previous stroke or spinal cord injury, a recent stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) within 2 weeks.
  • Pregnant women and women less than one month post-partum. Ruling out pregnancy will be conducted by careful history and physical examination as performed routinely prior to surgery. If the history is believed to be unreliable, the patient will be excluded unless a pregnancy test is performed and the result of the test is negative.
  • Emergency cases and subjects who have not adhered to the ASA NPO (Nil Per Os - Nothing By Mouth) guidelines.

About this study

Official title: Determination of the Efficacy of Nasal Mask Ventilation During the Induction of General Anesthesia

Recently, the investigators demonstrated that nasal route ventilation is superior to the nasal-oral combined ventilation in the absence of jaw thrust and chin up maneuvers. The investigators hypothesize nasal mask ventilation may reduce the incidence of difficult mask ventilation during the induction of general anesthesia by: 1) producing a better seal than full face mask, and 2)establishing a greater airway patency and more effectively ventilate than full face mask ventilation. The investigators intend to test this hypothesis on adult patients during the induction of general anesthesia in the absence of muscle relaxation.

What participants receive

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

  • nasal maskProcedure or surgery

    Using the nasal mask instead of the full face mask during the induction of general anesthesia

  • full face maskProcedure or surgery

    using a standard full face mask during the induction of general anesthesia.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tidal volume

    Tidal volume generated by the positive pressure ventilation during the induction of general anesthesia

    Measured: in 30 minutes after the induction of general anesthesia

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Carbon dioxide removal

    carbon dioxide removed per minute during the induction of general anesthesia will be calculated

    Measured: in 30 minutes after the induction of general anesthesia

  2. success rate of positive pressure ventilation with different masks

    Measured: in 30 minute after the induction of general anesthesia

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing nasal mask and full face mask in people with Mechanical Ventilation Complication and Upper Airway Obstruction, run by Massachusetts General Hospital 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 8 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 18 Jan 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?

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?

Tidal volume (time frame: in 30 minutes after the induction of general anesthesia). 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 18 Jan 2017.
