Trial summary

Bronchoscopy with broncho-alveolar lavage is a diagnostic tool in patients with pneumonia. Especially patients with acute or chronic pulmonary diseases are at risk of respiratory failure during or after bronchoscopy. It is known that in these cases bronchoscopy can be performed safely using non-invasive ventilation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomised Study on the Safety of Non-invasive Ventilation Versus High-flow Oxygen in Patients With Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure Undergoing Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy.

Bronchoscopy with broncho-alveolar lavage is a diagnostic tool in patients with pneumonia. Especially patients with acute or chronic pulmonary diseases are at risk of respiratory failure during or after bronchoscopy. It is known that in these cases bronchoscopy can be performed safely using non-invasive ventilation. It seems probable that high-flow oxygen, which is used in the treatment of patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure, is equally effective in preventing the development of respiratory failure during fiberoptic bronchoscopy while improving patient comfort. In this prospective randomised study the safety of high-flow oxygen is compared with non-invasive ventilation in patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy.

Being tested
non-invasive ventilation, high-flow oxygen, fiberoptic bronchoscopy

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean decrease in the saturation of oxygen (SpO2) during bronchoscopy.

    Measured: during fiberoptic bronchoscopy

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in blood gases after the completion of fiberoptic bronchoscopy.

    Measured: 1 hour after the completion of bronchoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing non-invasive ventilation, high-flow oxygen and fiberoptic bronchoscopy in people with Respiratory Failure, run by Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf at 1 site in Germany.

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 13 Nov 2020. 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 Germany. 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?

Mean decrease in the saturation of oxygen (SpO2) during bronchoscopy. (time frame: during fiberoptic bronchoscopy). 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 NCT01870765, 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 13 Nov 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
