About this study
Official title: Impact of High-flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen (HFNC) Versus Noninvasive Ventilation Associated With Sleep Quality on Atrial Fibrillation in Hypoxemic Patients After Coronary Surgery
The investigators hypothesized that heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula oxygen(HFNC) along with high quality of sleep, in comparison with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIV), could reduce the release of inflammatory marker C-reactive protein(CRP), which as independent predictor of atrial fibrillation(AF), further lower the incidence of new-onset AF following coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG).
Read the detailed description
Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been reported to occur in up to 20-40% of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Postoperative AF plays a major role in the determination of hemodynamic deterioration and can be associated with thromboembolic stroke. Aside from the risk factors of age, pain, cardiac dysfunction and hypokalemia, hypoxemia is also considered to be the major contributor to AF initiation and persistence. Aiming to the common postoperative complications, noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIV) provides an available modality to improve the oxygen and even obviate the reintubation.
However, some patients are contraindications for NIV, with Loss of consciousness, hemodynamic instability, and some are intolerance due to dryness, gastric distension, skin breakdown and noise, with complaints of insomnia and sleep disturbance. The aforementioned factors largely limits its use. Recently, the heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), free of psychic stress and physical discomfort, shows a favorable compliance and tolerance in treating the hypoxemic patients. As a result, in this comfortable setting we predict a high sleep quality in HFNC oxygen therapy. Evidence has suggested that sleep abnormalities trigger the cascaded release of C-reactive protein (CRP). As is well known that CRP is involved in atrial structural remodeling and asynchronous conduction, which attribute to the initiation and maintenance of AF.
Therefore, in this present study, the investigators first evaluate the sleep quality (architecture and duration) by the polysomnographic (PSG) monitoring after coronary surgery. Based on the sleep parameters, the investigators hypothesize that HFNC, along with high quality of sleep, in comparison with NIV, could reduce the release of C-reactive protein, which as independent predictor of atrial fibrillation (AF), further lower the incidence of new-onset AF following CABG.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
heated humidified high-flow nasal cannulaDevice
HFNC device (Airvo™, Fisher&Paykel, Auckland, New Zealand) with a heated circuit (Fisher&Paykel,900PT501) and nasal cannula(optiflow TM,Fisher&Paykel). It has adjustable FiO2: 21%-100%, gas flow up to 60 L/min, to maintain arterial blood hemoglobin oxygen saturation ( SPO2) > 92%.
noninvasive ventilationDevice
Also called noninvasive positive pressure ventilation
TBird VELA ventilator, CareFusion, USA. Pressure adjustments were to optimize patient comfort. Inspiratory pressure was raised every 5 mins until comfort was optimized. FiO2 was adjusted to maintain SPO2 > 92%.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula and noninvasive ventilation in people with Hypoxemia, run by Henan Institute of Cardiovascular Epidemiology at 1 site in China.
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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Mar 2021. 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 China. 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact You Zhang, MD (13598019682 ext. 037165580759, 13598019682@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Incidence of atrial fibrillation (time frame: 10 days). 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 NCT02713737, which also lists 7 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 9 Mar 2021.
