Trial summary

This study investigates airway effects of PEEP during maskventilation at anesthesia induction. Four patient groups will be ventilated with different PEEP and driving pressures to evaluate time to open airway after start of positive pressure maskventilation during anesthesia induction.

About this study

This study investigates airway effects of PEEP during maskventilation at anesthesia induction. Four patient groups will be ventilated with different PEEP and driving pressures to evaluate time to open airway after start of positive pressure maskventilation during anesthesia induction.

Read the detailed description

The use of continuous positive pressure (CPAP/PEEP) during pre-oxygenation and mask-ventilation in patients undergoing anesthesia induction is increasing. Continuous positive pressures have several respiratory benefits with well-documented data on both spontaneously breathing patients and intubated patients. However the effects of PEEP on anesthetized patients during mask-ventilation is poorly investigated. In a previous trial the that the investigators conducted, a PEEP-level of 10 cmH2O during mask ventilation after anesthesia induction surprisingly delayed time to alveolar ventilation compared to ZEEP. In order to investigate this phenomenon, four groups of patients will be compared during preoxygenation and mask ventilation after anesthesia induction.

Each group consisting of 30 patients will be pre-oxygenated and mask ventilated with different CPAP/PEEP levels and different driving pressures. Time to open airway is measured as number of respiratory cycles until detection of CO2 on the capnograph.

Being tested
PEEP-level, driving pressure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PEEP-level, driving pressure in people with Airway Management and Positive End Expiratory Pressure, run by Region Örebro County.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 3 Oct 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.

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 Per Cajander, MD (+46707173663, per.cajander@regionorebrolan.se), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to open airway (time frame: 20 minutes). 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 3 Oct 2016.
