About this study

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of mandibular advancement bite block to standard bite block for prevention of hypoxemia, intervention events and adverse effects during endoscopic examinations.

Read the detailed description

During endoscopic examinations, especially upper gastrointestinal, bile duct, or bronchoscopic examinations, the endoscope need to be placed through the mouth. A bite block is used to protect vulnerable endoscope and protect patient's teeth. During sedative endoscopic exams, respiratory depression, apnea or upper airway obstruction will occur under the influence of the sedative medications. Serious adverse events may occur such as hypoxemia. A nasal airway, Larson's maneuver, jaw thrust or chin lift may be needed to open airways.

Mandibular advancement devices has been widely used in treating obstructive sleep apnea. A modified bite block that provides mandibular advancement could provide entry inlet of endoscope as well as provide mandibular advancement to provide patent airway during sedative endoscopy. In this study, we group the patients into test group using mandibular advancement bite block and a control group using standard bite block. After anesthetic induction, gastric endoscopy was performed. Degree of upper airway obstruction will be evaluated and recorded. Differences between the two groups will be evaluated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under curve of 95% oxygen desaturation

    From start of sedation drug administration to end of endoscopic examination with the endoscope withdrawal from patient's mouth, peripheral oxygen saturation recorded. Area under curve of 95% oxygen desaturation is calculated by (95-saturation) x time.

    Measured: up to 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. number of rescue interventions: chin lift, jaw thrust, insertion of nasal airway or mask-bag ventilation

    From start of sedation drug administration to end of endoscopic examination with the endoscope withdrawal from patient's mouth, number of events such as chin lift, jaw thrust, insertion of nasal airway, or mask-bag ventilation recorded.

    Measured: up to 30 minutes

  2. Adverse events: partial or complete airway obstruction, or apnea

    From start of sedation drug administration to end of endoscopic examination with the endoscope withdrawal from patient's mouth, number of events such as snoring, stridor, apnea, airway obstruction or loss of end tidal carbon dioxide waveform recorded.

    Measured: up to 30 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Airway Obstruction, run by Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 2 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 16 Nov 2016. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Area under curve of 95% oxygen desaturation (time frame: up to 30 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 16 Nov 2016.
