Trial summary

The direct objective of this study is to determine whether an experienced provider can more adequately and/or easily ventilate an anesthetized patient with the NuMask device as compared to traditional bag-valve-mask ventilation. These are approved masks, being used in the patients routine care. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Comparison of Controlled Ventilation With the NuMask vs. Traditional Mask Ventilation.

The direct objective of this study is to determine whether an experienced provider can more adequately and/or easily ventilate an anesthetized patient with the NuMask device as compared to traditional bag-valve-mask ventilation. These are approved masks, being used in the patients routine care. The researchers believe that mean tidal volumes obtained by experienced providers when manually ventilating anesthetized patients with the NuMask device will be larger than when using the traditional bag-valve-mask.

What participants receive

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

  • NuMaskDevice

    The NuMask is a relatively new mask ventilation device that has been registered with the FDA and used in the United States since 2006.

  • Traditional maskDevice

    A traditional air inflated facemark used to ventilate patients

Study groups in NCT02828280
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
NuMaskPt's randomized to Numask first will be ventilated for 10 breaths with the NuMask device first, followed by 10 breaths with the traditional face mask
Receives: Device: NuMask; Device: Traditional mask
Traditional maskpatients randomized to traditional mask first will receive 10 breaths by traditional mask, followed by 10 breaths with NuMask
Receives: Device: NuMask; Device: Traditional mask

What is being measured

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

  1. Tidal Volume comparison

    Tidal volumes delivered between the two devices will be compared

    Measured: 2 minutes (one minute for NuMask, one minute for traditional mask)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Ease of use

    Provider will rate each device for ease of use on a 1-5 scale with 1 being easy and 5 being difficult.

    Measured: 2 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Apnea, run by Derek Sakata.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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 May 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?

Tidal Volume comparison (time frame: 2 minutes (one minute for NuMask, one minute for traditional mask)). 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 NCT02828280, 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 9 May 2017.
