Trial summary

Tracheal intubation in the ICU is associated with significant complications and morbidity. Desaturation is among the most frequent and hazardous complication, occurring in almost one out of four intubations, that may in some instances lead to cardiac arrest; despite appropriate preoxygenation.

About this study

Official title: Observational Study of High Flow Nasal Canula Oxygen to Preoxygenate ARDS Patients That Require Intubation

Tracheal intubation in the ICU is associated with significant complications and morbidity. Desaturation is among the most frequent and hazardous complication, occurring in almost one out of four intubations, that may in some instances lead to cardiac arrest; despite appropriate preoxygenation. Non-invasive ventilation may help improve preoxygenation but does not allow for apneic oxygenation and may not be performed in patients with neurological impairment. High flow nasal canula oxygen is increasingly used in the ICU in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and may be used to improve preoxygenation. It is currently used in our ICU for that purpose. Because high flow nasal canula oxygen is our first line oxyten therapy for patients with acute respirtory distress syndrome, we sought to determine its use as a means to ensure preoxygenation in those ARDS patients that require intubation.

Read the detailed description

High flow nasal canula oxygen is increasingly used to provide heated and humidified oxygen in patients with acute respiratory failure. One of the major advantages of high flow nasal canula oxygen is the possibility to maintain oxygenation during laryngoscopy and thereby providing high flow apneic oxygenation. In addition, and contrary no non-invasive ventilation, preoxygenation may be used in patients with neurological impairment. Finally, the interest of this device is that it is the same that is maintained throughout the whole management of the patient, from ICU admission to intubation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Oxygen saturation

    oxygen saturation measured by pulse oxymetry during intubation and compared to levels before intubation

    Measured: 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. complications

    arrhythmia, hypotension, profound desaturation, cardiac arrest

    Measured: 60 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by Hôpital Louis Mourier at 1 site 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 2 inclusion and 1 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 14 Aug 2015. 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 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?

Oxygen saturation (time frame: 30 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 NCT02214576, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 14 Aug 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
