About this study

Official title: Determination of Half-life of the Carboxyhemoglobin Level and Utility of High Flow Nasal Cannula in Carbon Monoxide Toxicity in the Emergency Department

determination of the half-life of COHb in CO-poisoned patients with high flow nasal oxygen therapy in the ED.

Read the detailed description

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is common and potentially fatal environmental emergency which requires immediate attention. It is responsible for up to 40,000 emergency department (ED) visits and 5000 to 6000 deaths per year, making it one of the leading causes of poisoning death in the United States. The management options for CO poisoning are limited to high flow oxygen by face mask or hyperbaric oxygen treatment. While half-life of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) in a patient treating with high flow oxygen via a nonbreathing face mask is 90 minutes, it becomes 30 minutes with hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO).

The hypothesis of this study is using high flow nasal oxygen therapy in the CO poisoning may be more effective and safer treatment method comparing to standard oxygen therapy in the ED. Also, it may be a safe promising alternative of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

The aim of the study is to determine the half-life of COHb in CO-poisoned patients with high flow nasal oxygen therapy in the ED.

What participants receive

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

  • Fisher&Paykel AIRVO™ 2 High Flow Nasal Cannula TherapyDevice

    A high flow nasal cannula will be implemented to the CO-poisoned patients. In the meantime, intravenous access and cardiac monitorization will have been establishing. When the high flow nasal cannula becomes ready, the first venous blood sample will be taken and the treatment will be started without any delay. The gas flow rate will be started at the rate of 30 liters per minute and will be increased to the max flow rate which patient can tolerate and FiO2 of 1.0. If the first COHb level is lesser than 10%, the patient will be excluded and will receive standard emergency care.

    The blood sample will be drawn from existing IV access every 10 minutes until the COHb levels become %50 or lesser of the initial level.

    Once the COHb level becomes 50% of initial measurement, following blood samples will be taken in every 30 minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Half life of COHb

    Half life of COHb levels (%) under the high flow nasal oxygen therapy. Elimination rate of COHb will be determined in every 10 minutes according to venous blood gas COHb level.

    Measured: between 20 and 120 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Adverse Events

    Mucosal dryness, epistaxis and burn in the nasal cavity will be evaluated as a adverse events of high flow nasal cannula.

    Measured: between 0 and 120 minutes

  2. Device Comfort

    Patient comfort will be assessed according to verbal numeric rating scale by asking to patient to say a number between 0 to 10 with 0 being "high flow nasal cannula can not be tolerated" and 10 being " the most comfortable breath ever".

    Measured: Between 0 and 120 minutes

  3. Flow Rate Tolerability

    Flow rate tolerability will be assessed according to patient request to change in flow rate.

    Measured: Between 0 and 120 minutes

  4. Flow Temperature Tolerability

    Flow temperature tolerability will be assessed according to patient request to change in flow rate.

    Measured: Between 0 and 120 minutes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fisher&Paykel AIRVO™ 2 High Flow Nasal Cannula Therapy in people with Carbon Monoxide Poisoning and Environmental Exposure, run by Kocaeli University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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 10 Apr 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Half life of COHb (time frame: between 20 and 120 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 10 Apr 2018.
