Trial summary

After general anesthesia, there are the risks for airway obstruction, hypoventilation, atelectasis, ventilation-perfusion mismatch, hypercarbia and hypoxemia,so oxygen supplement in PACU seems necessary. This study aim is to compare the two methods of oxygen supplement which are 1.nasal cannula at O2 flow 4 L/min. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Performance Comparison of Two Oxygen Delivery Devices [Nasal Cannula and Mask] Used After General Anesthesia.

After general anesthesia, there are the risks for airway obstruction, hypoventilation, atelectasis, ventilation-perfusion mismatch, hypercarbia and hypoxemia,so oxygen supplement in PACU seems necessary.

This study aim is to compare the two methods of oxygen supplement which are 1.nasal cannula at O2 flow 4 L/min. 2.oxygen mask with O2 flow 5 L/min. The hypothesis in this study is the 2 methods can equally provide effective oxygen supplement to prevent anesthesia-related hypoxemia. Choosing nasal cannula would be reasonable because it is cheaper and more comfortable to patient.

Read the detailed description

The incidence and causes of hypoxemia in PACU will be identified, if necessary, a higher flow or changing oxygen delivery system can be used to prevent and treat hypoxemia. If any patients fail from oxygen weaning protocol in PACU and need longer oxygen therapy at ward, the duration of oxygen therapy will be recorded and also the compliance with oxygen delivery devices.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Hypoxemia in Both Groups

    Hypoxemia is defined as oxygen saturation < 94%. We record number of participants with hypoxemia in both groups

    Measured: In PACU (1 hr after anesthesia)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The Causes of Hypoxemia

    Causes of hypoxemia in each participant in PACU will be recorded

    Measured: In PACU (1 hr after anesthesia)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing oxygen mask and oxygen cannula in people with Hypoxemia, run by Mahidol University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 4 inclusion and 13 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 4 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 Thailand. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Jan 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Hypoxemia in Both Groups (time frame: In PACU (1 hr after 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 4 Jan 2017.
