About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled, Parallel-group, Open Label Trial Evaluating Benefits of Nasal High Flow Therapy (HFT) in Preoxygenation Before Tracheal Intubation in Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure

Oro-tracheal intubation in intensive unit care(ICU) in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure after crash induction remains a critical event.

The aim of this study is to determine whether Nasal High Flow Therapy (HFT) Optiflow ® is more efficient than the face mask for preoxygenation before orotracheal intubation after crash induction in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure

Read the detailed description

This study will be designed as followed : Patients will be randomized in 2 groups :"PREOXYFLOW" or "STANDARD FACE MASK".

Patients randomized in "PREOXYFLOW" group will received a four minutes preoxygenation period with Nasal High Flow Therapy (HFT) (60 l/mn FIO2 = 1) before orotracheal intubation under laryngoscopy after crash induction. Patients randomized in "STANDARD FACE MASK" group will received a four minutes preoxygenation period with standard face mask (15 l/mn) before orotracheal intubation under laryngoscopy after crash induction

Being tested
PREOXYFLOW, STANDARD FACE MASK

What participants receive

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

  • PREOXYFLOWDevice

    Patients randomized in "PREOXYFLOW" group will received a four minutes preoxygenation period with Nasal High Flow Therapy (HFT) Optiflow ® (60 l/mn FIO2 = 1) before orotracheal intubation under laryngoscopy after crash induction

  • STANDARD FACE MASKProcedure or surgery

    Patients randomized in "STANDARD FACE MASK" group will received a four minutes preoxygenation period with a standard face mask (15 l/mn) before orotracheal intubation under laryngoscopy after crash induction. Each hospital involved in this study will use the standard face mask as per its usual practice (no specific trademark requested by this protocol)

What is being measured

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

  1. to determine whether Optiflow® used during the preoxygenation period before orotracheal intubation after crash induction is more efficient than standard face mask.

    This outcome will be assessed from the beginning of the preoxygenation period to the end of orotracheal intubation by monitoring the pulse oxymetry

    Measured: 4 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Improvement of quality of preoxygenation

    Measured: 4 minutes

  2. Reduction in side effects incidence related to intubation

    Measured: 1 hour

  3. Reduction in Organ failure in the 5th day

    Measured: at day 5

  4. Reduction in morbi-mortality during the Intensive Care Unit stay.

    Measured: until day 28 OR, if patient still in the intensive care unit (ICU) at Day 28, until discharge of ICU

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PREOXYFLOW and STANDARD FACE MASK in people with Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure, run by Nantes University Hospital at 6 sites in France.

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 10 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 10 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in France. 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?

to determine whether Optiflow® used during the preoxygenation period before orotracheal intubation after crash induction is more efficient than standard face mask. (time frame: 4 minutes). 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 NCT01747109, 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 10 Dec 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
