About this study

Official title: Pre-oxygenation With High-flow Nasal Cannula in Comparison to Standard in Adults During Rapid Sequence Induction Anesthesia- a Prospective Randomized Non-blinded International Multicenter Study

It has been demonstrated that Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange used during preoxygenation for emergency surgery is at least equally effective as preoxygenation compared to standard tight fitting mask. Data from a recent study indicates that Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange might decrease the risk of clinically relevant desaturation below 93% of arterial oxygen saturation. The limitations with our previous study is that it was done only during office hours (Mon-Friday 8 am to 4 pm) and that the power to detect the occurrence of desaturation was too low.

Based on the above, the aim is now to conduct a clinical international multicenter study 24/7 with 450 patients and with a simplified protocol that allows the study to be done 24/7. This study is done with the aim of evaluation before implementing this novel technique of preoxygenation into clinical practice.

The general purpose of this project is to compare a the preoxygenation technique based on Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange with traditional preoxygenation with a tight fitting mask during rapid sequence induction (RSI) intubation in patients undergoing emergency surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. The number of patients that desaturates below 93% in SpO2 during pre oxygenation up to 1 minute after intubation

    The number of patients that desaturates below 93% in SpO2 during pre oxygenation up to 1 minute after intubation

    Measured: From start of anaesthesia until 1 minute after tracheal intubation, that is normally after 3-4 minutes after anaesthesia induction

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Lowest SpO2 during preoxygenation using THRIVE compared to traditional pre-oxygenation from time to first anesthetic drug given up to 1 minute after intubation.

    Lowest SpO2 during preoxygenation using THRIVE compared to traditional pre-oxygenation from time to first anesthetic drug given up to 1 minute after intubation.

    Measured: From start of anaesthesia until 1 minute after tracheal intubation, that is normally after 3-4 minutes after anaesthesia induction

  2. Level of end-tidal carbon dioxide in the first breath after intubation with Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange oxygenation compared with traditional pre-oxygenation?

    Level of end-tidal carbon dioxide in the first breath after intubation with Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange oxygenation compared with traditional pre-oxygenation?

    Measured: At the first breath after tracheal intubation that is usually 2-4 minutes after induction of anaesthesia

  3. Level of end-tidal O2 in the first breath after intubation with Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange oxygenation compared with traditional pre-oxygenation?

    Level of end-tidal O2 in the first breath after intubation with Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange oxygenation compared with traditional pre-oxygenation?

    Measured: At the first breath after tracheal intubation that is usually 2-4 minutes after induction of anaesthesia

  4. Incidence of gastric regurgitation between the groups?

    Incidence of gastric regurgitation between the groups?

    Measured: From start of anaesthesia until 2 minutes after tracheal intubation, that is normally after 4-5 minutes after anaesthesia induction

  5. Difference in numbers of patients being ventilated between the two groups?

    Is there a difference in the number of patients that was ventilated before intubation between the two study groups?

    Measured: From start of anaesthesia until the patient is intubated, usually within 3-4 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High flow transnasal oxygen and Pre oxygenation using tight fitting facemask in people with Anesthesia and Hypoxia, run by Karolinska University Hospital at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 3 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 10 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Sweden, Switzerland. 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?

The number of patients that desaturates below 93% in SpO2 during pre oxygenation up to 1 minute after intubation (time frame: From start of anaesthesia until 1 minute after tracheal intubation, that is normally after 3-4 minutes after anaesthesia induction). 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 10 Dec 2020.
