About this study

This study will evaluate patient comfort and oxygen delivery efficiency when providing supplemental oxygen through a nasal cannula to volunteers using an instrumented oxygen delivery system. The goals of the study are to evaluate different oxygen flow rates and oxygen delivery modes. In addition, the investigators will investigate if the system can detect apnea (cessation of breathing) and removal of the nasal cannula. The investigators will also investigate how well high flow oxygen delivered only during inspiration is tolerated and how much the end-tidal oxygen increases after two minutes of high oxygen flow delivered only during the inhalation phase of the breath.

What is being measured

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

  1. End-tidal Oxygen

    Did the novel system increase end-tidal oxygen?

    Measured: Continuously throughout 30 minute volunteer study

  2. Patient Comfort

    Did the patients feel it was more comfortable for a given end-tidal oxygen level?

    Measured: Every 2 minutes up to 30 minutes

  3. End-tidal Carbon Dioxide

    Was end-tidal carbon dioxide measured more accurately using the novel system?

    Measured: Continuously throughout 30 minute volunteer study

  4. Respiratory Rate

    Compared respiratory rate against capnometry.

    Measured: Continuously throughout 30 minute volunteer study

  5. Oxygen Saturation

    Did the novel system increase oxygen saturation?

    Measured: Continuously throughout 30 minute volunteer study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Oxygen Delivery and Patient Monitoring, run by University of Utah 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 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 30 Jan 2025. 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?

End-tidal Oxygen (time frame: Continuously throughout 30 minute volunteer study). The study lists 5 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 NCT02886312, which also lists 3 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 30 Jan 2025.
