About this study

Official title: The Effectiveness of Perioperative CPAP to Reduce the Occurrence of Sleep Apnea Related Adverse Events in Surgical Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Objective of the study: To determine whether Perioperative Auto-CPAP treatment prevent postoperative worsening of OSA and improve nocturnal oxygen saturation in surgical patients with moderate and severe OSA.

Read the detailed description

The patients will be approached by the study coordinators at the preoperative clinic. If the patient is interested in participating the study, STOP-Bang and Epworth questionnaires will be implemented to determine the risk for OSA.If the patients are classified as high risk of having OSA, they are scheduled for an overnight sleep study at home. The patients with Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI)>15 from the sleep study will be randomized into two study groups: Perioperative CPAP group or control group (routine care). In the perioperative CPAP group, patients will be treated with auto-CPAP for 2-3 nights preoperatively and 5 nights postoperatively. All patients will undergo sleep study on the third postoperative night and be monitored by a pulse oximeter for 2-3 nights preoperatively and 5 nights postoperatively.

What participants receive

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

  • auto-titrated CPAPDevice

    Patients will be treated with auto-CPAP preoperatively for 2-3 nights preoperatively and 5 nights postoperatively during their sleep.

  • ControlDevice

    Patients in this group will receive routine care, undergo sleep study on the third postoperative night and be monitored by a pulse oximeter for oxygen saturation level for 2-3 nights preoperatively and 5 nights postoperatively during their sleep.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing auto-titrated CPAP in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), run by University Health Network, Toronto at 2 sites in Canada.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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 18 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Canada. 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?

Apnea-hypopnea index (time frame: On the third night after surgery). 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 18 Dec 2013.
