About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial of an Intervention to Reduce the Incidence of Hypoxia With Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Versus Standard Care During Procedural Sedation for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing oxygen delivery by nasal mask with continuous positive airway pressure versus standard care (nasal cannula or standard facemask) during propofol-based sedation for gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures to reduce the incidence of hypoxia. The primary outcome will be the rate of oxygen desaturation below 90% for ≥15 seconds.

Read the detailed description

This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing oxygen delivery by nasal mask with continuous positive airway pressure versus standard care (nasal cannula or standard facemask) during propofol-based sedation for gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures to reduce the incidence of hypoxia. The primary outcome will be the rate of oxygen desaturation below 90% for ≥15 seconds. In addition, secondary measures will include evaluation of mechanism and degree of respiratory depression associated with hypoxia and hypoventilation by characterizing changes in minute ventilation, tidal volume, and respiratory rate as well as the rate and degree of airway obstruction. The investigators hypothesize that the addition of nasal continuous positive airway pressure in the intervention arm will lead to decreased obstruction as positive pressure will stent open the obstructed airway. Depth of anesthesia will be monitored by Bispectral Index and investigators hypothesize that the degree of hypoventilation, obstruction, and will be significantly lower in the intervention arm compared to the control arm. Further, the depth of anesthesia will be independent of total propofol dose received. While the primary outcome in this study is hypoxia, investigators also seek to marry end tidal carbon dioxide with minute ventilation and transcutaneous carbon dioxide measurement to better understand the total effects of sedation on respiration. Thus the study will also serve to evaluate which mode(s) of respiratory monitoring might be the best possible intervention to enhance safety during procedural sedation in the future. Further, investigators suspect that the amplitude of end tidal carbon dioxide will not predict the degree of respiratory depression seen with other monitors. In addition, investigators will measure serum short chain fatty acid concentrations as a predictor and possible mechanism for differences in individual variability in anesthesia induced respiratory depression.

  • Nasal MaskDevice

    Also called Intervention: Nasal anesthesia mask with positive pressure

    Nasal anesthesia mask which covers the nose and attaches to the anesthesia circuit, allowing for variable positive pressure by setting the pop-off valve

  • Control: Nasal CannulaDevice

    Also called Standard Care

    Nasal cannula as per usual care

What is being measured

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

  1. Hypoxia Rate as Assessed by Number of Participants With at Least One Hypoxic Event

    Number of subjects undergoing procedural sedation for endoscopy with at least one hypoxic event, defined as oxygen saturation less than 90 percent for 15 seconds.

    Measured: Approximately 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Hypoventilation in Subjects Undergoing Procedural Sedation for Endoscopy as Assessed by Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide Monitoring

    Evaluate hypoventilation in subjects undergoing procedural sedation for endoscopy by transcutaneous carbon dioxide monitoring in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).

    Measured: Approximately 1 hour

  2. Hypoventilation in Subjects Undergoing Procedural Sedation for Endoscopy as Assessed by Respiratory Volume Monitoring

    Evaluate hypoventilation by respiratory volume monitoring for minute ventilation. Reported result is the percentage decrease from baseline in minute ventilation.

    Measured: Approximately 1 hour

  3. Mechanism of Hypoventilation in Subjects Undergoing Procedural Sedation for Endoscopy and Hypoventilation

    Correlate respiratory volume monitoring transcutaneous carbon dioxide measurement with number of airway maneuvers to identify mechanism of hypoventilation as predominately obstructive or due to respiratory rate or tidal volume.

    Measured: Approximately 1 hour

  4. Depth of Anesthesia in Subjects Undergoing Procedural Sedation for Endoscopy

    Depth of anesthesia by processed electroencephalogram (EEG) bispectral analysis, which is a standard monitor of anesthetic depth using a calibrated dimensionless index that ranges from 0 to 100, with lower numbers corresponding to a deeper anesthetic state.

    Measured: Approximately 1 hour

  5. Hypoxia Duration

    The total time in seconds of oxygen saturation below 90 percent will be recorded

    Measured: Approximately 1 hour

  6. Total Number of Hypoxic Events in Subjects That Experienced Hypoxia

    In subjects experiencing hypoxia during sedation, the total number of episodes of hypoxia for all participants will be recorded.

    Measured: Approximately 1 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nasal Mask in people with Hypoxia and Endoscopy, run by Johns Hopkins University 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 1 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 18 Oct 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Dec 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Hypoxia Rate as Assessed by Number of Participants With at Least One Hypoxic Event (time frame: Approximately 1 hour). 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 18 Oct 2022.
