What participants receive

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

  • Enk Fiberoptic AtomizerDevice

    Also called Enk Fiberoptic Atomizer Set, Cook Medical

    Nebulization of local anesthetics with the Enk Fiberoptic Atomizer by Cook Medical during the felxible bronchoscopy

  • bronchoscopeDevice

    Standard procedure: Administration of local anesthetics via the working channel of the bronchoscope during the felxible bronchoscopy

Study groups in NCT01969045
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Working channelExperimentalPatients will receive local anaesthetics via the working channel of the bronchoscope.
Receives: Device: bronchoscope
Enk Fiberoptic AtomizerExperimentalPatients will receive the local anaesthetics for the flexible bronchoscopy via the nebulizer Enk Fiberoptic Atomizer.
Receives: Device: Enk Fiberoptic Atomizer

What is being measured

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

  1. Amount of anaesthetics during fexible bronchoscopy

    Valdiation of the total amount of administered propofol (mg) during the fexible bronchoscopy.

    Usage of sedatives other than propofol (midazolam), total amount of administered lidocaine, duration of bronchoscopy.

    Measured: one hour

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. pCO2

    Determination of:

    maximum transcutaneous pCO2 during bronchoscopy, mean transcutaneous pCO2 during bronchoscopy, capillary pCO2 immediately after bronchoscopy and 2 hours later, time to Aldrete Score of at least 9 after procedure

    Measured: two hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Enk Fiberoptic Atomizer and bronchoscope in people with Administration of Local Anaesthetics With a Special Atomizing Set Durching Fexible Bronchoscopy, run by RWTH Aachen University 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 4 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 Feb 2016. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Amount of anaesthetics during fexible bronchoscopy (time frame: one hour). 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 Feb 2016.
