Trial summary

The purpose of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of oxygen insufflation (continuous oxygen flow) to keep oxygen saturation (oxygen levels measured with a pulse oximeter [finger device used in medicine]) at 90% or greater in adult patients undergoing microlaryngoscopy surgery.

About this study

Official title: Oxygen Insufflation: How High Flow, Low Pressure Oxygen Can Replace Jet Ventilation in Appropriate Surgical Airway Cases

The purpose of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of oxygen insufflation (continuous oxygen flow) to keep oxygen saturation (oxygen levels measured with a pulse oximeter [finger device used in medicine]) at 90% or greater in adult patients undergoing microlaryngoscopy surgery.

Read the detailed description

High flow, low pressure oxygen will be supplied in microlaryngoscopy airway surgery. These procedures are usually performed with jet ventilation (UAB) or intermittent apnea (surgery centers). Jet ventilation provides oxygenation with limited ventilation but come with high risks, such as barotrauma, pneumothorax, mucosa drying, and even death in the most severe cases. Intermittent apnea is a nuisance for the surgeon in that surgical time is often interrupted with having to place the endotracheal tube whenever the patient's oxygen saturation levels fall. The solution is oxygen insufflation, which will give extended oxygenation times for the surgeon to operate without the inherent risks associated with jet ventilation. During the procedure, oxygen tubing will be connected to the surgeon's laryngoscope instead of the jet ventilation tubing. Oxygen flows of 15 L/min will be administered through the laryngoscope to the posterior oropharynx. Endotracheal tube will be placed if oxygenation deemed insufficient due to oxygen saturations of <90%. Endotracheal tube will be intermittently placed to check and correct carbon dioxide levels.

What is being measured

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

  1. High flow, low pressure oxygen can increase apneic oxygenation time during airway procedures

    15 liters per minute of oxygen will be administered to the posterior oropharynx.

    Measured: 30-60 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Degree of hypercapnia experienced by participants

    Measurement will be taken by intermittent ventilation by placing an endotracheal tube

    Measured: 30-60 minutes

  2. Participants That Maintain Adequate Oxygenation at 90% or Greater

    Pulse oximetry will be used to measure oxygenation status

    Measured: 30-60 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Insufflator oxygen tubing in people with Hypoxia, run by University of Alabama at Birmingham.

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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

High flow, low pressure oxygen can increase apneic oxygenation time during airway procedures (time frame: 30-60 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 26 Jan 2023.
