Trial summary

During preoxygenation, imperfect seal between the face mask and patient's face can induce an inward air leak decreasing its effectiveness. We assume that noninvasive ventilation could cancel the effect of the leak. This is a prospective study. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Preoxygenation With Spontaneous Breathing or Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation With or Without a Calibrated Leak. An Experimental Study in Healthy Volunteers

During preoxygenation, imperfect seal between the face mask and patient's face can induce an inward air leak decreasing its effectiveness. We assume that noninvasive ventilation could cancel the effect of the leak.

This is a prospective study. Healthy volunteers are randomised in cross-over between spontaneous breathing or noninvasive ventilation pressure support preoxygenation in the presence or absence of a calibrated leak on the inspiratory circuit.

Read the detailed description

During preoxygenation, imperfect seal between the face mask and patient's face can induce an inward air leak decreasing its effectiveness. We assume that noninvasive ventilation could cancel the effect of the leak.

We planned an experimental study with healthy volunteers (residents in anesthesiology).

Healthy volunteers are randomised in cross-over between preoxygenation through spontaeous breathing or noninvasive ventilation pressure support preoxygenation in the presence or absence of a calibrated leak on the inspiratory circuit. The inspiratory fraction of oxygen is 100%. The exhaled gas (oxygen and carbon dioxide) are monitored.The subjects breathed through a mouthpiece (with a nose clip) connected to an anesthetic ventilator.

The primary endpoint is the time to achieve end expiratory fraction of oxygene of 90% or more.

The secondary endpoint is the proportion of subject with end expiratory fraction of oxygen of 90% or more after a 3 min period (recommended in clinical guidelines).

Being tested
preoxygenation without inward leak, preoxygenation with inward leak

What participants receive

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

  • preoxygenation without inward leakProcedure or surgery

    breathing a 100% inspired oxygen gas flow during 3 to 10 minutes

  • preoxygenation with inward leakProcedure or surgery

    breathing a 100% inspired oxygen gas flow during 3 to 10 minutes with an inward air leak made possible through a specific calibrated piece on the inspiratory branch

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing preoxygenation without inward leak and preoxygenation with inward leak in people with Preoxygenation and Non Invasive Ventilation, run by University Hospital, Caen at 1 site in France.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jul 2017. 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 France. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 expiratory fraction of oxygen (time frame: 10 minutes). 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 NCT03087825, 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 7 Jul 2017.
