About this study

Official title: Apneic Oxygenation With Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange (THRIVE) With Standardized Airway Management During General Anesthesia - an Observational Study of Blood Gas Dynamics of PaCO2, pH and PaO2.

Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange (THRIVE) denotes the use of high-flow humidified nasal oxygen system (for example Optiflow®) as an alternative ventilation modality for an anesthetized patient without spontaneous respiration. This method requires only basic airway management manoeuvres to keep the airway open and provides both stable longterm oxygenation as well as apneic ventialtion.

We plan to evaluate this methods physiological performance under standardized conditions of airway management by frequent, repeated arterial blood gas analyses.

Read the detailed description

THRIVE is previously shown feasible as sole mode of ventilation in selected patients during general anaesthesia for minor laryngeal surgery for a limited time up to 30 minutes, where direct laryngoscopy was required and applied throughout the procedure. A stable oxygenation and a degree of ventilation was observed. However, a slowly developed respiratory acidosis was also observed over time.

Existing physiologic studies on high flow humidified nasal oxygen suggest that closed mouth breathing enhance the effects of the high flows of oxygen levels applied by increasing the airway pressures and thereby enhance gas exchange in the lungs. Currently, it is unclear whether the efficiency of THRIVE depends on the particular circumstances of airway management. Physiologic characterization of THRIVE performance under standardized conditions of airway management and under close monitoring by systematic analysis of blood gas dynamics over time during general anesthesia is needed.

We plan to study the blood gas dynamics during THRIVE apnea ventilation during general anesthesia, where the airway is managed only by jaw-thrust for up to 60 minutes. The patients will be closely monitored by repetitive arterial blood gasses to evaluate blood gas dynamics and development of respiratory acidosis. Desaturation or respiratory acidosis with pH under 7.15 and/or PaCO2-rise > 12 kPa will lead to cessation of THRIVE.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Apnea and Ventilation Therapy; Complications, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 2 sites in Denmark.

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 10 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 23 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Denmark. 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?

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?

Respiratory acidosis (time frame: Max. 60 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 23 Jan 2019.
