About this study

Official title: Preliminary Characterization of the Capnography Profile of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Patients in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)

To understand if a progressive increase in end-tidal carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are heralding respiratory difficulties before desaturation measured from capnography in obstructive sleep apnea patients, with the use of nasal prongs, transcutaneous monitors, Capnostream, and Massimo technologies.

Read the detailed description

Background and Significance Carbon dioxide (CO2) levels can be monitored throughout the respiratory cycle via capnography. In this way, capnography allows healthcare professionals to follow a number of respiratory factors (i.e., depression, apnea, and hypercapnia) in real-time. Earlier detection of alterations to ventilation status will better enable providers to more accurately dose medications during procedures, especially in at-risk patient populations such as patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) [1, 2].

In a recent study of bariatric patients, approximately 15% experience postoperative pulmonary complications. These patients could benefit significantly from capnography monitoring as this measure can very accurately estimate the prevalence of respiratory complications.

Through this study we seek to understand how end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) levels of patients with obstructive sleep apnea vary when patients are in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). By collecting information on patient outcomes, we hope to better understand the value of this monitoring technique in an at-risk patient population. Though capnography in the PACU has not previously been demonstrated to improve patient safety or satisfaction, capnography has never been studied in a population of patients who are at risk of obstructive sleep apnea.

Study Design This is a prospective, blinded observational pilot study to monitor if changes in end-tidal CO2 levels provide incremental value over pulse oximetry when detecting respiratory difficulties (i.e., hypercapnia).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Bariatric Surgery Candidate, run by University of South Florida 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 4 inclusion and 2 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 30 Jun 2022. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Enrico Camporesi, MD (813-844-4434, ecampore@health.usf.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) (time frame: 2-3 hours). 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 NCT03076047, which also lists 2 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 Jun 2022.
