About this study

Official title: High Flow Nasal Oxygen Versus Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Obese Patients Undergoing Deep Sedation for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) is commonly performed under deep sedation to provide amnesia, comfort, and optimal procedural conditions. However, anesthetic drugs commonly used such as midazolam and/or propofol and opioids for sedative endoscopy in clinical practice may depress normal ventilation by blunting central chemoreceptor responsiveness to CO2, and alveolar hypoventilation and predispose patients to upper airway obstruction; all of that can result in hypoxemia, hypercarbia, respiratory acidosis, hypotension, and, in rare cases, brain injury or death.(1-3)

Read the detailed description

The incidence of hypoxia during ERCP with sedation has been reported to range from 16.2 to 39.2% (4) may be because ERCP procedures can be lengthy and are often performed in the prone position.(5) Hypoxemia is the most common adverse cardiopulmonary complication during sedated endoscopy and is caused by respiratory depression, airway obstruction, and decreased chest wall compliance. (2)

Obese patients are particularly at risk of upper airway obstruction and hypoxemia under sedation and may benefit from Conventional CPAP, applied nasally to improve ventilation and oxygenation during spontaneous ventilation in patients under deep sedation through maintenance of upper airway patency.(6) Recently novel techniques have been shown to be more effectively help ventilation than conventional low flow nasal oxygen. High flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) has been utilized in the intensive care setting for over 15 years. Its use in anaesthesia is rapidly increasing, providing an alternative to low flow oxygen devices during sedation for procedures such as gastroenterology, non-invasive cardiological, radiological, emergency medicine and persistent pain procedures.(1) Multiple mechanisms account for the therapeutic effects of HFNO, including a reduction in dead space, increased positive end-expiratory pressure, increased functional residual capacity, and delivery of higher inspired oxygen concentrations to the distal airways.(7) Moreover the heated and humidified HFNO provides adequate oxygenation with less drying of the upper airway mucosa, thereby improving patient comfort.(8) The use of HFNO in the gastroenterological suite had reduced critical incidents by providing high-inspired oxygen and slowing carbon dioxide rises related to respiratory depression.

Maintaining patient safety while successfully completing the procedures under sedation requires careful monitoring. Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) Guidelines on Monitoring during Anaesthesia, the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain \& Ireland (AAGBI) and the American Society of Anesthesiologists Standards for Basic Anesthetic Monitoring had all emphasized the importance of monitoring exhaled Co2 during moderate to deep sedation to improve patients' safety. (9) Monitoring EtCO2 for the anesthesiologist is more superior to the pulse oximeter for immediately detecting an obstructed airway, opiate-induced apnea, or other airway problems that only much later may be detected by the pulse oximeter.(9) Unfortunately, it would be expected that the high oxygen flow rates during HFNO would severely dilute expired carbon dioxide and make sampling impossible.

What is being measured

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

  1. A hypoxemia event

    Spo2 <92% for at least 15 consecutive seconds (we based our definition on prior studies)

    Measured: for 15 consecutive secondes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The lowest Spo2 reading

    the lowest spo2

    Measured: during the whole procedure

  2. Incidence of hypercapnia

    PaCo2 will be assessed in an venous blood gas sample drawn before induction of anaesthesia and second sample 5 min. after induction and then every 10 min till the end of the procedure

    Measured: before induction, 5 min after induction and then every 10 min till end of procedure
