About this study

Official title: Comparative Study Between High Flow Nasal Cannula and Conventional Oxygen Therapy in the Postoperative Management of Patients With Mild to Moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of conventional oxygen therapy oxygen and high-flow nasal cannula therapy on oxygen saturation (SpO2), measuring number of SpO2 drop >4% of base line oxygen saturation (o2 desaturation index), length of the ICU stay, and the need of use supplemental continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) support in any of the study groups in the postoperative ICU setting.

Read the detailed description

In the surgical setting, patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may have increased upper airway collapsibility affecting ventilation and increased sensitivity to sedation from anesthetics and opioids.

Surgical patients with OSA have a high risk for postoperative complications, including cardiac events, hypoxemia, and transfer to the intensive care unit . Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard treatment for moderate to severe OSA , and effectively reduces the risk of cardiovascular events. Evidence has shown that CPAP effectively reduces length of ICU stay (LOS) in the postoperative setting. In these scenarios, conventional oxygen therapy and high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy have been used as an alternative for CPAP non-adherent patients.

HFNC delivers warm, humidified air through a nasal cannula at high flow rates of up to 60 L/min. This high flow rate may increase end-expiratory pharyngeal pressure up to 3 cm H2O, decreasing the force required to alleviate airway collapse . Using a nasal cannula interface in contrast to the CPAP mask may provide a more comfortable experience for patients during sleep .

What participants receive

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

  • High flow nasal cannula therapy groupOther

    Patients who will be randomized to high flow nasal cannula therapy. High flow nasal oxygen cannula will be applied at a flow of 20 L/min at FiO2 of 0.4 at a temperature of 36oC

  • Conventional oxygen therapy groupOther

    Patients who will be randomized to simple oxygen mask therapy. The simple face mask will be applied in a rate range between 6-10 L/min.

What is being measured

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

  1. Oxygen desaturation index

    Oxygen desaturation index will be recorded through by pulse oximeter, while respiratory rate will be recorded by the ECG monitoring and visual count hourly.

    The number of recorded drops in baseline SpO2 of >4%.

    Measured: During intensive care unit stay (assessed up to day 5)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The length of Intensive care unit stay

    The length of Intensive care unit stay will be measured from the start of surgery until the discharge.

    Measured: At the time of intensive care unit discharge (up to day 5)

  2. The incidence of ventilatory support

    The incidence of ventilatory support is either non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or intubation and mechanical ventilation.

    Measured: At the time of intensive care unit discharge (up to day 5)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High flow nasal cannula therapy group and Conventional oxygen therapy group in people with High Flow Nasal Cannula and Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 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 Egypt. 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 Omar M Mohamed, Master (00201063190923, omarmedhat0100565@med.asu.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Oxygen desaturation index (time frame: During intensive care unit stay (assessed up to day 5)). 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 19 Mar 2024.
