About this study

Official title: Analysis of Face Mask Leak With Nasal Cannula in Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation: A Randomized Crossover Trial

This is a prospective randomized cross over study of healthy volunteers undergoing continuous positive airway pressure ventilation via a noninvasive ventilation (NIV) mask with and without the addition of nasal cannulas. Mask leak will be measured by the ventilator after 60 seconds of spontaneous resting ventilation, with each subject serving as his or her own control.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized cross over study. A convenience sample of staff and resident physicians and physician assistants from the San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC) Department of Emergency Medicine will be used to assess NIPPV mask seal during CPAP administration with and without nasal cannula. Volunteers will be solicited via Grand Rounds and staff meetings at San Antonio Military Medical Center. Subjects will undergo permuted block randomization by random number generator to the order of intervention, mask alone or mask with nasal cannula at 15L/min of oxygen. An emergency medicine trained physician will place equipment and operate the ventilator. After placement of the NIPPV mask and prior to each study intervention period, appropriate adjustments to enhance mask seal will be made as would happen in a therapeutic setting and the volunteer will be allowed up to two minutes to acclimate to continuous noninvasive positive pressure ventilation. Mask leak will be measured by the ventilator unit and will be recorded after 60 seconds of spontaneous restful ventilation.

Being tested
Nasal cannula, Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation

What is being measured

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

  1. Face Mask Leak Measured in Liters Per Minute by the Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation Machine

    Face mask leak as measured in liters per minute by the noninvasive positive pressure ventilation machine

    Measured: 2 minutes after mask placement

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patient Discomfort (Verbal Numerical Rating Scale)

    Discomfort scored on a 0-10 verbal numerical rating scale (0 = no discomfort, 10 = most discomfort imaginable)

    Measured: After study completion (approximately 2 minutes after study start)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Nasal cannula and Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in people with Mechanical Ventilation Pressure High, run by Brooke Army 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 2 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 26 Sep 2016. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Aug 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Face Mask Leak Measured in Liters Per Minute by the Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation Machine (time frame: 2 minutes after mask placement). 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 NCT02743936, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 26 Sep 2016.
