Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Adult patients at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, aged between 18-75 years, with an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status of I (normal healthy patient), II (patients with mild systemic disease; no functional limitation) or III (patient with severe systemic disease; definite functional impairment - with relatively stable disease, but requiring therapy) who are scheduled to undergo elective surgeries under sevoflurane general anesthesia as a standard of care.

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female , 18 to 75 years of age
  • ASA I, II or III
  • Capable and willing to consent

Who cannot join

  • ASA IV or V
  • Patients with severe visual or auditory disorder

  • Patients who were undergoing surgical procedures involving the upper airway, including tonsillectomy, septoplasty, uvuloplasty, uvulopalatoplasty, uvulopharyngoplasty, or uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, as these procedures were most likely to have been indicated to cure the primary disease process (OSA)
  • Cardiac surgeries
  • Neurosurgeries (Brain)
  • Any condition, which in the opinion of the investigator would make subject ineligible for participation in the study such as history of unstable cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, neurologic (seizures), hematologic or endocrine abnormality (hyperthyroidism, unstable Diabetes type I/II)

About this study

Official title: PERIOPERATIVE RISK FACTORS FOR POSTOPERATIVE RESPIRATORY COMPLICATIONS IN PATIENTS AT RISK FOR OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA

This study investigates the incidence of postoperative respiratory complications (PRCs) including: oxygen desaturation events, tracheal re-intubations within 48 hours of surgery, and failure to wean from ventilator within 48 hours of surgery - in patients with and without risk factors for OSA undergoing elective, non-cardiac surgery (NCS).

Read the detailed description

324 subjects will be enrolled into one of two groups: increased or not increased risk for OSA, n=162 patients per group. Preoperative assessments of OSA status, Mallampati score (an assessment for mouth and throat morphology), STOP-BANG test (assessment for risk of OSA), and medical history will be used to determine patient group assignment. All subjects will receive standard general anesthesia and monitoring as a part of standard of care whether or not she/he will participate in the study, including ECG, arterial pressure, SpO2, BIS, Blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and respiratory rate (RR), all of which will be continuously recorded and data will be saved for every three minutes during induction using standard monitors. Standard monitoring assessments in PACU will be used, and patients with increased perioperative risk for OSA will be closely monitored for hypoxemia and other complications. The Nellcor Pulse Oximetry Sensor will be applied in PACU and continuously monitor the patient's oxygen saturation and respiratory rate for the first 48 hours postoperatively. At the end of the 48 hours, the device will be removed, and the de-identified data will be transferred to a computer with analysis software and examined for patterns in respiratory distress in both patient groups. Data collected from the Nellcor Bedside Respiratory Patient Monitoring System on pulse and oxygen saturation, as well as data on clinically significant events, such as PRCs, acute respiratory failure, tracheal reintubation, hypoxemia, CHF, MI, A-fib, and delirium will be analyzed to understand the effects of OSA on postoperative recovery

What participants receive

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

  • Pulse OximetryDevice

    Use of pulse oximetry device for 48 hours after surgery.

Study groups in NCT02729077
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Increased risk for OSAVital signs including oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, ECG, arterial pressure, BIS, blood pressure, heart rate will be monitored and hypoxemia will be measured during anesthetic care, and oxygen saturation and respiratory rate will be measured for 48 hours after surgery with pulse oximetry. Patients in this arm will be especially evaluated for hypoxemia and other complications.
Receives: Device: Pulse Oximetry
Not increased risk for OSAVital signs including oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, ECG, arterial pressure, BIS, blood pressure, heart rate will be monitored and hypoxemia will be measured during anesthetic care, and oxygen saturation and respiratory rate will be measured for 48 hours after surgery with pulse oximetry.
Receives: Device: Pulse Oximetry

What is being measured

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

  1. incidence of postoperative respiratory complications (PRCs) based on cumulative minutes per 24 hours of oxygen desaturation events ≤ 90%

    Identify respiratory complications such as hypoxemia, respiratory failure requiring assisted ventilation, and reintubation, every 24 hours

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Complications, run by Ohio State University 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 24 Feb 2021. 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 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?

incidence of postoperative respiratory complications (PRCs) based on cumulative minutes per 24 hours of oxygen desaturation events ≤ 90% (time frame: 24 hours). 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 24 Feb 2021.
