Trial summary

Oxygenation with high-flow nasal cannula with 100% oxygen has only been evaluated in a limited number of studies. Although data are convincing it is of importance to evaluate this new concept in our department before implementing it into clinical practice. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Oxygenation by 100% Oxygen Via High Flow Nasal Cannula During Apnea in Adult Elective Surgical ENT Patients

Oxygenation with high-flow nasal cannula with 100% oxygen has only been evaluated in a limited number of studies. Although data are convincing it is of importance to evaluate this new concept in our department before implementing it into clinical practice.

The general purpose of this project is to evaluate a new ventilation strategy during ENT-surgery based on oxygenation with high-flow nasal cannula with 100% oxygen with focus on gas exchange.

Being tested
Hyperventilation

Respiratory Aspiration

What participants receive

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

  • HyperventilationProcedure or surgery

Study groups in NCT02706431
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
NormoventilationNo interventionThe patients will be normoventilated before anesthesia
HyperventilationExperimentalPrior to anesthesia, the patients will hyperventilate during 2 mins or until symptoms from the central nervous system (e.g. dizziness).
Receives: Procedure: Hyperventilation

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in arterial carbon dioxide (pCO2)

    Measured: From start of anaesthesia to end of apnoea oxygenation or max 30 minutes

  2. Change in arterial pH

    Measured: From start of anaesthesia to end of apnoea oxygenation or max 30 minutes

  3. Change in arterial oxygen tension (pO2)

    Measured: From start of anaesthesia to end of apnoea oxygenation or max 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Does hyperventilation prior to anaesthesia and apnoea oxygenation cause any difference in pCO2 in the end of the apnea (i.e. at up to 30 minutes) compared to normoventilation?

    Measured: In the end of the apnoea period, i.e. at approximately 20 minutes

  2. Does hyperventilation prior to anaesthesia and apnoea oxygenation cause any difference in pH in the end of the apnea (i.e. at up to 30 minutes) compared to normoventilation?

    Measured: In the end of the apnoea period, i.e. at approximately 20 minutes

  3. Does hyperventilation prior to anaesthesia and apnoea oxygenation cause any difference in pO2 in the end of the apnea (i.e. at up to 30 minutes) compared to normoventilation?

    Measured: In the end of the apnoea period, i.e. at approximately 20 minutes

  4. Does the high oxygen content cause atelectasis measures as change in relation between pCO2 and end tidal carbon dioxide

    Measured: Until discharge from the postoperative unit, often max 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hyperventilation in people with Anaesthesia, General and Anesthesia, Intravenous, run by Karolinska University Hospital.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 19 Dec 2017. 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.

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?

Change in arterial carbon dioxide (pCO2) (time frame: From start of anaesthesia to end of apnoea oxygenation or max 30 minutes). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02706431, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Dec 2017.
