About this study

There is few information about the best capnometry value in recovery room for intubated awakening patients. Furthermore, capnometry values could influence ventilation applied by nurses on these patients. The aim of this study is to observe the effects of capnometry monitoring on intubated awakening patients in recovery room.

Read the detailed description

In France, there is actually no recommandation about capnography monitoring in recovery rooms. Nevertheless, some patients are still ventilated in post-anesthesia care units during awakening period. Alveolar hypoventilation could induce moderate hypercapnia, thereby stimulate central ventilatory command. However, this hypoventilation could delay the clearance of anesthetic gases. Capnometry monitoring could influence ventilation applied to these patients. Recovery rooms nurses would perform moderate hyperventilation in response to hign capnometry values. This method could enhance gases elimination, with faster spontaneous breathing recovery and extubation. Length of stay in recovery room could also be shortened. An objective surrogate of ventilation is maximal End Tidal CO2, if there is no alveolo-capillary gradient abnormality (Obesity, Chronic respiratory disease, Cyanogenic heart disease). Thus, this study will compare the percentage of patients who reached a maximum End Tidal CO2 greater than 45mmHg during awakening period in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) in 2 groups :

  • first group ("non-blind group") with capnography monitoring see by the PACU nurses
  • second group ("blind group") with capnography monitoring but PACU nurses cannot see the values Other parameters like the time between ventilator's disconnection and the first ventilatory cycle in spontaneous ventilation, the time between ventilator's disconnection and tracheal extubation or laryngeal mask's withdrawal, the minimal SpO2 reached after tracheal extubation or laryngeal mask withdrawal or the length of stay in PACU are also recorded.

What is being measured

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

  1. End Tidal CO2 up

    Percentage of patients who reached a maximum End Tidal CO2 greater than 45mmHg during awakening period in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU)

    Measured: through awakening period in PACU, an average of 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. End Tidal CO2 max 1

    Maximum EtCO2 reached before the first ventilatory cycle in spontaneaous ventilation

    Measured: through awakening period in PACU, an average of 15 minutes

  2. End Tidal CO2 max 2

    Maximum EtCO2 reached after the first ventilatory cycle in spontaneous ventilation

    Measured: through awakening period in PACU, an average of 30 minutes

  3. respiratory rate

    Respiratory rate applied by PACU nurse before the first ventilatory cycle in spontaneous ventilation

    Measured: through awakening period in PACU, an average of 15 minutes

  4. spontaneous ventilation time

    Time (in minutes) between ventilator's disconnection and the first ventilatory cycle in spontaneous ventilation

    Measured: through awakening period in PACU, an average of 15 minutes

  5. time for removal of airway device

    Time (in minutes) between ventilator's disconnection and tracheal extubation or laryngeal mask's withdrawal

    Measured: through awakening period in PACU, an average of 30 minutes

  6. Spo2 min

    Minimal SpO2 after tracheal extubation or laryngeal mask withdrawal

    Measured: through awakening period in PACU, an average of 2 hours

  7. length of stay in PACU

    Length of stay in PACU in minutes

    Measured: through awakening period in PACU, an average of 2 hours

  8. time for oxygenotherapy removal

    Time (in minutes) between tracheal extubation or laryngeal mask withdrawal and oxygenotherapy weaning

    Measured: through awakening period in PACU, an average of 1 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CAPNOGRAPHY in people with VENTILATION and Capnography, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 16 Oct 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 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. 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 Tidal CO2 up (time frame: through awakening period in PACU, 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03370081, 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 16 Oct 2018.
