About this study

This study is a prospective randomised trial where a computer will randomly allocate

patients to one of two possible methods of delivering oxygen during the procedure of

bronchoscopy. This trial compares high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) with nasal prongs in

delivering oxygen to patients undergoing endo-bronchial ultrasound guided trans-

bronchial nodal aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) a specialised form of bronchoscopy procedure.

HFNC uses humidified higher gas flow rates than conventional low flow systems such as

nasal prongs which are limited by the respiratory rate and effort.

What is being measured

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

  1. drop in oxygen saturation during procedure

    the difference in oxygen saturation levels between pre-treatment assessments and the lowest saturation level achieved during treatment

    Measured: through procedure completion defined as withdrawing scope from patient's mouth, an average of 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. change in venous CO2

    Change in venous CO2 1 hour after procedure compared to pre-procedure level

    Measured: 1 hour after procedure

  2. end tidal CO2 during procedure

    Measured with tip of scope at lower trachea

    Measured: through procedure completion defined as withdrawing scope from patient's mouth an average of 30 minutes

  3. Patient experience measure on a visual analogue scale

    Measured: up to 3 hours after procedure

  4. endotracheal intubation during or post procedure

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing high flow nasal oxygen in people with Lung Cancer and Lymphadenopathy, run by University College Hospital Galway at 1 site in Ireland.

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 3 inclusion and 8 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 2 May 2018. 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 Ireland. 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?

drop in oxygen saturation during procedure (time frame: through procedure completion defined as withdrawing scope from patient's mouth, an average of 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 2 May 2018.
