Trial summary

Preoxygenation prior to general anaesthesia prolongs safe apnea time. Proper preoxygenation is always a challenge in emergency surgery. The aim of our study is to estimate problems encountered during preoxygenation, their risk factors and ways of solving them. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study of Preoxygenation Quality Prior to General Anesthesia in Emergency Surgery

Preoxygenation prior to general anaesthesia prolongs safe apnea time. Proper preoxygenation is always a challenge in emergency surgery.

The aim of our study is to estimate problems encountered during preoxygenation, their risk factors and ways of solving them.

Read the detailed description

Factors, that are associated with compromised preoxygenation will be determined during our study. Pulse oximetry data and end-tidal oxygen concentration values will be evaluated in association with risk factors for insufficient anaesthesia face mask seal, difficult intubation, preoxygenation techniques used, comorbidities, physical status, hemodynamic and laboratory measures.

Parameters analysed:

  • Preoperative: medical history, physical examination, laboratory findings, anthropometric data
  • Intraoperative: preoxygenation equipment and method used (defined by anaesthesiologist in charge of the case), oxygenation and haemodynamic values recorded during preoxygenation and induction of anaesthesia, intraoperative laboratory values (if obtained)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Preoxygenation and Anaesthesia, run by Vilnius University at 1 site in Lithuania.

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 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 9 Oct 2020. 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 Lithuania. 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?

Contact Egle Kontrimaviciute, Assoc Professor (+37052365264, egle.kontrimaviciute@santa.lt), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Efficient preoxygenation in preset time (time frame: 300 seconds). 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 9 Oct 2020.
