Trial summary

The study aims to compare the efficacy of Nasal High Flow Therapy (NHF) with low-flow oxygen supplementation in improving postoperative intermittent desaturations. If so, this mode of therapy would provide a cost effective, relatively easy to implement, and better tolerated treatment to Continuous Positive Airway… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Nasal High Flow Therapy Versus Oxygen Supplementation in Postoperative Care of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients With Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Non-Compliance

The study aims to compare the efficacy of Nasal High Flow Therapy (NHF) with low-flow oxygen supplementation in improving postoperative intermittent desaturations. If so, this mode of therapy would provide a cost effective, relatively easy to implement, and better tolerated treatment to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) for oxygen stabilization.

Read the detailed description

Patients identified preoperatively with previously diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (intermittent collapse of upper airway while asleep) who refuse Continuous Positive Airway Pressure use after surgery and are treated with routine postoperative supplemental oxygen alone (1 liters per minute) will have more oscillation of oxygen saturation during the night (measure by overnight oximetry) than those treated with high nasal flow air insufflator (Fisher \& Paykel Airvo 2 device) with same amount of oxygen supplement (1 liters per minute).

Being tested
Low flow oxygen via nasal cannula, Humidified Nasal High Flow Therapy
Medical subject headings
Sleep Apnea, Obstructive

What participants receive

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

  • Low flow oxygen via nasal cannulaDevice

    In the low flow oxygen group, patients will be supplemented with 1 liter per minute via nasal cannula. Adjustment of initial setting upon floor arrival: To adjust oxygen 1-4 liters per minute to an arterial saturation of oxygen of > 88%. Continuous oximetry will be collected up to 48 hours. Standard postsurgical care.

  • Humidified Nasal High Flow TherapyDevice

    Also called Airvo 2 from Fisher and Paykel

    Adjustment of initial setting upon floor arrival: To adjust oxygen 1-4 liters per minute to arterial saturation of oxygen > 88%. To adjust air flow to patient comfort (20-35 liters per minute). Continuous oximetry will be collected up to 48 hours. Standard postsurgical care.

What is being measured

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

  1. The 4% change oxygen-desaturation index (4% ODI) determined by pulse oximetry

    The 4% change oxygen-desaturation index (4% ODI) as determined from the recorded pulse oximetry data during the first postoperative 48 hours.

    Measured: At 48 hours postsurgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence rate of postoperative cardio-respiratory complications

    Incidence rate of postoperative cardio-respiratory complications such as Intensive Care Unit transfer, acute arrhythmia, myocardial ischemic event, delirium, new infiltrate or atelectasis, and any complication (combination of two or more of those above)

    Measured: At 48 hours postsurgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Low flow oxygen via nasal cannula and Humidified Nasal High Flow Therapy in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 11 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 9 Oct 2019. 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 United States. 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?

The 4% change oxygen-desaturation index (4% ODI) determined by pulse oximetry (time frame: At 48 hours postsurgery). 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 9 Oct 2019.
