Trial summary

The study aims to evaluate the effect of non-supine positioning in the treatment of surgical patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The hypothesis is that non-supine positioning will result in a decrease in acute hypoxic events, defined as the number of apneas/hypopneas per hour of sleep. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Non-Supine Positioning in Treatment of Surgical Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

The study aims to evaluate the effect of non-supine positioning in the treatment of surgical patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The hypothesis is that non-supine positioning will result in a decrease in acute hypoxic events, defined as the number of apneas/hypopneas per hour of sleep.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial that will comprise of two stages. Stage 1 is a pilot study of 30 patients at high risk or diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea who are scheduled for routine surgery. These patients will be randomized 1:1:1 to standard of care (0 degree bed angle), 30 degree bed angle, or 60 degree bed angle. Acute hypoxic events will be analyzed pre and post-op in the randomly assigned bed position. PACU nurses will also be surveyed for patient-favored non-supine positioning (30 vs. 60 degrees). Stage 2 will be a larger, powered trial to evaluate the efficacy of just one bed angle (30 or 60 degrees) based on the Stage 1 results.

What is being measured

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

  1. Acute Hypoxic Index (AHI)

    study will look at the effect of bed positioning on Acute Hypoxic Index (AHI), which is defined as the number of apneas/hypopneas per hour of sleep

    Measured: 3 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing bed positioning in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Englewood Hospital and Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Sep 2015. 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 United States. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Acute Hypoxic Index (AHI) (time frame: 3 days). 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 15 Sep 2015.
