Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the head-up position of 20 and 30 degrees on the ETO2 reaching time of 85% and the desaturation time of 92% after intubation in elderly patients compared to the supine position. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the head-up position of 20 and 30 degrees on the ETO2 reaching time of 85% and the desaturation time of 92% after intubation in elderly patients compared to the supine position.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be randomized into 3 groups. The patients will lay in the supine position, in the control group and 20 and 30 degrees head up position in other two groups. Each patient will be preoxygenated with well fitting anaesthesia face mask with FiO2 of 100% at least 6L of flow until the ETO2 reaches concentration of 85%. The angle (20 or 30 degrees) formed by the patients' bodies (hips and feet parallel to the ground, lifting the back from the ground plane) with the ground will be measured with a spirit level, angle meter, and confirmed with a smartphone application. The time to reach ETO2 85% by starting preoxygenation in patients will be measured and recorded with a stopwatch. When the target is reached, anesthesia induction will be performed and the patients will be intubated. After the start of the intubation attempt, the stopwatch will be started again, after intubation, the patient will be ventilated with a balloon once and the location of the tube will be confirmed, the circuit will be separated and SpO2 will be expected to go down to the level of 92 % and recorded during this time.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time ETO2 85%

    Time to reach ETO2 85 %

    Measured: Time between placement of face mask and end tidal oxygen concentration reaches 85 %

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Desaturation time

    Time to reach the Spo2 of 92 % after intubation

    Measured: Time between initiation laryngoscopy for endotracheal intubation and peripheral oxygen saturation reaches 92 % measured by pulseoxymeter

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Head up positioning during preoxygenation in people with Anesthesia Intubation Complication, run by Ankara City Hospital Bilkent at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2 inclusion and 7 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 20 Jul 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Time ETO2 85% (time frame: Time between placement of face mask and end tidal oxygen concentration reaches 85 %). 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 20 Jul 2023.
