About this study

Official title: Nasopharyngeal Oxygen With Nose-close and Abdomen-compression in Pediatric Flexible Bronchoscopy

The nasopharyngeal oxygen (NPO) with Nose-close (NC) and Abdomen-compression (AC) technique may use for support or rescue asphyxiated infants during Flexible bronchoscopy.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of a novel cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) technique-nasopharyngeal oxygenation with nose-close and abdomen-compression (NPO-NC-AC)-in small infants during flexible bronchoscopy (FB).

METHODS: Infants with body weight (BW) <5.0 kg and receiving nasal diagnostic or interventional FB (dFB, iFB) were enrolled. Under NPO (0.5 L/kg/min), when infant's heart rate (HR) <80 beats/min or oxygen saturation (SpO2) <85% for more than 10 seconds, rescue NC-AC was initiated. It was performed by (1) increased NPO flow to 0.5-1.0 L/kg/min; (2) NC 1 second for inspiration; and (3) AC 1 second for expiration with simultaneously released nostrils. Repeat doing steps (2) and (3) at a rate of 30 cycles/min until HR, SpO2, and blood pressure (BP) returned to normal. Cardiopulmonary parameters were monitored and analyzed.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
outcomeExperimentalCardiopulmonary parameters were measured and recorded at baseline, just before and at every minute during NC-AC, and at the end of the FB session. In infants who already had an arterial line, arterial blood gas (ABG) analyses were taken for study. Data was represented as mean ± SD. The results obtained from the baseline and different stages. The values were considered statistically significant only when p < 0.05. Technique failure was defined as: any vital signs of hypoxia did not return to accepted levels(HR>100 beat/min, SpO2>90%, mean BP>50 mmHg)within 2 minutes of the experimental CPR technique. Then traditional CPR procedures involving bag-mask ventilation, endotracheal intubation, Ambu bag ventilation or even chest compressions were substituted.

What is being measured

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

  1. Heart rate (beat/min)

    During and after this FB procedure, vital signs are continually monitoring. When the heart rate (HR) <80 beat/min (measured by continuouse wave and digit form of EKG monitor) and lasting >10 seconds. Immediately rescued with rhythmic NC-AC. If the heart rate did not reach to its acceptable level (>80 beat/min) within 2 minutes, then traditional CPR procedures involving bag-mask ventilation, ET intubation, Ambu bag ventilation or even chest compressions were substituted.

    Measured: Participants will continually monitoring by EKG for 2 days after the procedure.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry

    During FB procedure, vital signs are continually monitoring. When the oxygen saturation <85% (or more than 10% below the original baseline in already cyanotic infant)by pulse oximeter and lasting >10 seconds. Immediately rescued with rhythmic NC-AC. If the oxygen saturation did not reach to its acceptable level (>85%) within 2 minutes, then traditional CPR procedures involving bag-mask ventilation, ET intubation, Ambu bag ventilation or even chest compressions were substituted.

    Measured: Participants will continually monitoring by pulse oximeter for 2 days after the procedure.

  2. Mean blood pressure (mmHg)

    During and after the FB procedure, vital signs are continually monitoring. When the mean blood pressure <50mmHg (measured by continuous non-invasive sphygmomanometer every 5 minutes and one hour, respectively) and lasting morethan one hour. Immediately rescued with rhythmic NC-AC. If the mean BP did not reach to its acceptable level (>50mmHg) within 10 minutes, then traditional CPR procedures involving bag-mask ventilation, ET intubation, Ambu bag ventilation or even chest compressions were substituted.

    Measured: Participants will continually monitoring by sphygmomanometer for 2 days after the procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NPO with Nose-close and Abdomen-compression in people with Bradycardia and Hypoxemia, run by Cho-yu Chan, MD at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 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 27 Jun 2012. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Heart rate (beat/min) (time frame: Participants will continually monitoring by EKG for 2 days after the procedure.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01629186, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Jun 2012.
