About this study

Official title: The Effects of Setting Adjustable Pressure Limiting Valve (APL) to 5 cmH2O on Preoxygenation

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of setting airway pressure release valve (APL valve) on the anesthesia workstation to 5 cmH2O during spontaneous breathing on preoxygenation. In this prospective study healthy volunteers are randomized in cross-over between spontaneous breathing with the APL valve on spontaneous position or spontaneous breathing with the APL valve on 5 cmH2O or CPAP (continous positive airway pressure) mode with 5 cmH2O PEEP (positive end expiratory pressure).

Read the detailed description

There are several methods to improve preoxygenation but most of them require advanced anesthesia workstations. Therefore the investigators planned an an experimental study on healthy volunteers to investigate the effects of a simple method on preoxygenation.

Healthy volunteers are randomized in cross-over between spontaneous breathing with the APL valve on spontaneous position or spontaneous breathing with the APL valve on 5 cmH2O or CPAP mode with 5 cmH2O PEEP.

The volunteers will breath through an anesthesia face mask. The fresh gas flow rate is 12 L/min, inspiratory fraction of oxygen is 100%. The exhaled gas (oxygen and carbon dioxide) are monitored. The inspiratory and end expiratory fraction of oxygen will be recorded every 10 seconds.

The primary endpoint is the time to achieve end expiratory fraction of oxygen of 90% or more.The secondary endpoint is the proportion of subject with end expiratory fraction of oxygen of 90% or more after a 3 min period and the end expiratory fraction of oxygen at the third minute.

What participants receive

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

  • preoxygenation with 100% O2, fresh gas flow rate 12 L/minuteProcedure or surgery

    volunteers will be placed in supine position, fresh gas flow rate will be set at 12 L/min and delivered oxygen concentration will be set at 100%.

What is being measured

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

  1. time to reach end expiratory fraction of oxygen of 90% or more

    Measured: 5 minutes

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. proportion of volunteer with end expiratory fraction of oxygen of 90% or more after a 3 min period

    Measured: 3 minutes

  2. End expiratory oxygen fraction at the 3th minute

    Measured: 3 minutes

  3. Verbal rating Score

    After completion of the whole arms of the study the volunteers will give a score between 0-10 to define the difficulty of breathing during the procedure

    Measured: 5 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing preoxygenation with 100% O2, fresh gas flow rate 12 L/minute in people with Preoxygenation, run by Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University at 2 sites 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 13 Nov 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 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?

time to reach end expiratory fraction of oxygen of 90% or more (time frame: 5 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 NCT04010279, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 13 Nov 2019.
