Trial summary

A comparative study which compares the end-tidal carbon dioxide and oxygen saturation levels of patients during endoscopy which have used either the new oral-nasal oxygenating device (TwinGuard), or a standard bite block plus nasal cannulae using an equivalent flow rate of oxygen.

About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Parallel, Open Label Study to Determine the Efficacy of a New Oral-Nasal Oxygenating Device (TwinGuard) Compared to Standard Bite Block Plus Nasal Cannulae

A comparative study which compares the end-tidal carbon dioxide and oxygen saturation levels of patients during endoscopy which have used either the new oral-nasal oxygenating device (TwinGuard), or a standard bite block plus nasal cannulae using an equivalent flow rate of oxygen.

Read the detailed description

Hypoxia is common during endoscopy. Following sedation induction, oxygen saturation falls moderately in most patients, whilst some drop to unacceptable levels. To monitor such changes endoscopic practices routinely use oximeters and capnography.

TwinGuard is an all-in-one device which incorporates a bite block with the functionality of nasal cannula as well as monitoring expired air (carbon dioxide)

What participants receive

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

  • TwinGuardDevice

    A system consisting of an endoscopic bite block that fits together with a nasal cannula. After gastroscopy, the bite block is discarded leaving the patient receiving oxygen in recovery.An optional carbon dioxide sampling device fits with the TwinGuard in endoscopy to monitor expired air.

  • Standard endoscopic bite blockDevice

    Placed in the mouth during gastroscopy to protect the endoscope and the patient's teeth

  • Standard nasal cannulaDevice

    Delivers oxygen to the nose. Tubing runs from the nose around the back of the ears and under the chin which then runs to an oxygen source.

  • CO2 sample lineDevice

    Samples expired air from a patients nose. Tubing is connected to a capnograph.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TwinGuard, Standard endoscopic bite block and Standard nasal cannula in people with Hypoxia and Hypercapnia, run by Trawax Pty Limited.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Feb 2008. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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.

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 21 Feb 2008.
