Trial summary

Panendoscopy is a common procedure that requires deep and short anesthesia. The main challenge is the sharing of the airway between the anesthesia team and the surgical team. There are several methods to ensure oxygenation during this type of procedure: oro-tracheal intubation, jet ventilation, spontaneous ventilation… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of High-flow Nasal Oxygen Therapy and Face Mask Ventilation on Desaturations During Panendoscopy Under General Anesthesia

Panendoscopy is a common procedure that requires deep and short anesthesia. The main challenge is the sharing of the airway between the anesthesia team and the surgical team. There are several methods to ensure oxygenation during this type of procedure: oro-tracheal intubation, jet ventilation, spontaneous ventilation anesthesia, apneic ventilation with intermittent face mask ventilation. There is no consensus regarding the best airway management technique for this procedure. Regardless of the method chosen to ensure oxygenation during this procedure, the risk of hypoxemia during desaturation episodes is significant.

However, the use of HFNO seems to show a prolongation of apnea time without desaturations (< 90% SpO2) and seems to allow the performance of panendocoscopies.

In the Besançon University Hospital, since 2017, all panendoscopies are performed with HFNO. Before 2017, panendoscopies were performed under face mask ventilation. The main of the study hypothesis is that HFNO brought a gain in terms of safety, especially on the desaturation rate compared to face mask ventilation.

The investigators will carry out a quasi-experimental study comparing two periods. The first period concerns the years 2015-2016. It aims to study patients who had panendoscopies performed under FMV. The second period covers the years 2018-2019. It aims to study patients who had panendoscopies performed under HFNO.

The year 2017 is considered as the washout period necessary to avoid the learning effect of the HFNO introduced during that year.

Read the detailed description

Currently, there are several strategies to ensure oxygenation during this specific type of ENT management:

  • Mechanical ventilation with oro-tracheal intubation (OTI)
  • face mask ventilation (FMV)
  • Jet ventilation
  • HFNO Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages, which explains why there are no clear recommendations to date on the preferred anesthesia and oxygenation technique. Regardless of the method chosen, the risks remain significant for the patient, particularly the risk of hypoxemia during a desaturation episode.

In 2017, HFNO was introduced for panendoscopies in the Besançon University Hospital. Before 2017, panendoscopies were mainly perfomed with intermittent face mask ventilation.

The objective of the study is to compare the FMV group (patients receiving panendoscopy and ventilated with FMV during 2015-2016) with the HFNO group (patients receiving panendoscopy and oxygenated with HFNO during 2018-2019) with respect to perprocedural hypoxemia (SpO2<90% for more than 1 minute).

Secondary objectives are to compare complications, use of oro-tracheal intubation, and procedure duration between the two oxygenation methods.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
FaceMask Ventilation (FMV)During the period from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2016, all panendoscopies performed with FMV, whether urgent or scheduled and regardless of indication, were included. Panendoscopies performed with any other oxygenation method were excluded.
HFNODuring the period from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2019, all panendoscopies performed with HFNO, urgent or scheduled and regardless of indication, were included. Panendoscopies performed with any other oxygenation method were excluded.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients with oxygen desaturation

    Proportion of patients with oxygen desaturation (SpO2 < 90%) for more than 1 minute.

    Measured: more than 1 minute during the intervention

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Proportion of patients requiring repeat face mask ventilation

    Proportion of patients requiring repeat face mask ventilation (at least one reventilation outside the initial denitrogenation)

    Measured: more than 1 minute during the intervention

  2. Proportion of patients requiring oro-tracheal intubation

    Proportion of patients intubated during panendoscopy

    Measured: during the intervention (max 6hours)from induction of anaesthesia to discharge from the operating theatre

  3. Duration of the procedure

    Time (minutes) from induction of anaesthesia to discharge from the operating theatre

    Measured: during the intervention (max 6hours) from induction of anaesthesia to discharge from the operating theatre

  4. Incidence of mild intraoperative complications

    Complications are : mild bradycardia (between 45 and 30 beats per minute), hypotension defined by MAP (between 65 and 40mmHg), hypercapnia (betaween 60 and 80 mmHg)

    Measured: more than 1 minute during the intervention

  5. Incidence of major intraoperative complications

    Complications are : Tracheotomy, extreme bradycardia < 30 beats per minute, hemodynamic instability defined by MAP < 40mmHg, hypercapnia (more than 80 mmHg)

    Measured: more than 1 minute during the intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ENT Tumor, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon at 1 site in France.

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 7 Feb 2024. 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 France. 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 David Ferreira, MD, PhD (+33642841108, dferreira@chu-besancon.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of patients with oxygen desaturation (time frame: more than 1 minute during the intervention). 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 7 Feb 2024.
