Trial summary

The study compares the safety of using pressure controlled ventilation with a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during induction of general anaesthesia immediately after apnoea to a standard method starting ventilation manually without PEEP immediately after apnoea.

About this study

Official title: Safe Use of CPAP During Preoxygenation and PEEP After Apnoea During Induction of General Anesthesia

The study compares the safety of using pressure controlled ventilation with a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during induction of general anaesthesia immediately after apnoea to a standard method starting ventilation manually without PEEP immediately after apnoea.

Read the detailed description

Using a continuous positive pressure (CPAP) during preoxygenation, followed by pressure controlled ventilation with PEEP after apnoea during induction of general anesthesia, might offer several benefits but safety issues needs more investigation. This study compares the safety of using pressure controlled with PEEP during induction of general anesthesia immediately after apnoea to a standard method starting ventilation manually without PEEP immediately after apnoea.

Being tested
Pressure controlled ventilation with PEEP, Manual ventilation without PEEP
Keywords
Positive end-expiratory pressure, Mechanical ventilation, Induction of anesthesia

What participants receive

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

  • Pressure controlled ventilation with PEEPProcedure or surgery

    The intervention consists of starting ventilation after apnoea during induction of general anesthesia with pressure controlled ventilation with PEEP instead of manually without PEEP.

  • Manual ventilation without PEEPProcedure or surgery

    The intervention consists of starting ventilation after apnoea during induction of general anesthesia manually instead of with pressure controlled ventilation with PEEP.

Study groups in NCT04271683
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Pressure controlled ventilation with PEEPExperimentalIn this group, ventilation after apnoea during induction of general anesthesia starts with pressure controlled ventilation with PEEP.
Receives: Procedure: Pressure controlled ventilation with PEEP
Manual ventilation without PEEPActive comparatorIn this group, ventilation after apnoea during induction of general anesthesia starts with manual ventilation without PEEP.
Receives: Procedure: Manual ventilation without PEEP

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of breaths until return of CO2.

    When starting ventilation after apnea the number of breaths given until the return of CO2 is at least 1.3 kPa at a respiratory frequency of 10 per minute.

    Measured: 2 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Manual ventilation without PEEP in people with General Anesthesia, run by Region Västmanland at 1 site in Sweden.

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 6 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 8 May 2023. 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 Sweden. 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?

Number of breaths until return of CO2. (time frame: 2 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 8 May 2023.
