About this study

Official title: Comparison of Efficacy and Tolerance of Preoxygenation Using High Flow Oxygen and Face Mask Breathing in Healthy Volunteers.

High flow nasal cannula oxygen has been proposed to perform preoxygenation in patients with acute respiratory failure requiring orotracheal intubation in intensive care units. However, its use for preoxygenation before the induction of general anaesthesia in operating room has never been evaluated in term of end tidal oxygen fraction which is the gold standard measurement during preoxygenation before general anaesthesia.

The goal of the present study is to measure end tidal oxygen after 3 min of preoxygenation using the recommended method (spontaneous breathing of 100% inhaled oxygen through a face mask) and using high flow nasal canula oxygen, in healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

High flow nasal cannula oxygen has been proposed to perform preoxygenation in patients with acute respiratory failure requiring orotracheal intubation in intensive care units. The results suggest that high flow oxygen could be superior to bag reservoir face mask in term of occurrence of severe hypoxemia during the intubation procedure.

At the present time its use for preoxygenation before the induction of general anaesthesia in operating room has never been evaluated in term of end tidal oxygen fraction which is the gold standard measurement ensuring that the functional residual capacity has been filled with oxygen.

We planned a randomised cross over study in healthy volunteers studying efficacy and tolerance of preoxygenation using spontaneous ventilation with 100% inhaled oxygen through a face mask connected to the anaesthesia machine and preoxygenation using high flow nasal cannula oxygen (60l/min).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing preoxygenation in people with Anesthesia and Airway Morbidity, 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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

FeO2 at 3 min (time frame: 3 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 NCT03399695, 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 Jan 2018.
