About this study

Official title: Comparison of Air Leak During Ventilation With Nu-Mask Intraoral Airway Device Versus Conventional Bag Valve Mask in a Cadaver Model: A Randomized Crossover Trial

This study comprised a randomized cross-over trial of ventilation using the NuMask Intraoral Mask versus conventional Bag Valve Mask in a cadaver model among United States Army combat medics.

Read the detailed description

This study comprised a randomized crossover trial of adult United States Army combat medic volunteers participating in a cadaver laboratory as part of their training. The study took place in Bulverde, TX. Participants were randomized to perform cadaver ventilation first using either the novel Nu-MaskR intraoral device or conventional bag valve mask. A one handed seal technique was used to simulate single operator ventilation. Participants were responsible for mask placement while a ventilator delivered 10 breaths each with a standardized tidal volume of 750 ml. After a 5-minute washout period, they performed ventilation using the alternative device. The primary outcome measure was air leak as calculated by subtracting tidal volume received from tidal volume delivered as measured by the ventilator.

What is being measured

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

  1. Received Minute Volume (Liters) as Measured by Wright Respirometer

    An Impact 731 Ventilator will be attached to a mask. Subjects will hold a mask seal on a cadaver for 100 seconds. The Impact 731 Ventilator will then deliver standardized tidal volumes of 750 cc (delivered tidal volume) 10 times at six second intervals. A Wright respirometer will then measure received tidal volume for each of these 10 breaths.

    Measured: 1 Minute

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing NuMask Intraoral Airway Device and Bag Valve Mask in people with Apnea, run by Brooke Army Medical Center.

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 1 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 24 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jul 2016). 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?

Received Minute Volume (Liters) as Measured by Wright Respirometer (time frame: 1 Minute). 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 24 Aug 2016.
