About this study

The aim of this study is to determine if the Stable Airway Management device (SAM) is safe in maintaining the airway in a stable, non-obstructing position during anesthetic cases requiring monitored anesthesia care (MAC).

Read the detailed description

Patients undergoing monitored anesthesia care as part of a procedure will be invited to participate in the study.

The stable airway management (SAM) device is an investigational device used to hold patient's head and airway in a stable position during a MAC procedure. An investigational device means it has not been approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In this study, the SAM will be compared to the standard of anesthesia care which consists of supporting patient's head, neck, and shoulders with pillows and towels when placing them in the correct position for the procedure.

What participants receive

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

  • Stable airway management (SAM) deviceDevice

    SAM is positioning device that will maintain patient's head, neck, and therefore their airway in the correct position during their procedure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total Apneic Events /Total Number Requiring Airway Manipulation

    total number of apneic events greater than 20 seconds per 15-minute intervals, requiring airway manipulation - The median value of airway manipulations will be reported for each arm, along with the range of manipulations (low-high) for each study arm will be reported.

    Measured: Up to 6 hours

  2. Number of Subjects Converted From MAC to General Anesthesia

    Number of participants converted from MAC to general anesthesia for airway-related complications

    Measured: Up to 6 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Stable airway management (SAM) device in people with Anesthesia, run by Virginia Commonwealth 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 2 inclusion and 9 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 8 Apr 2024. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Apr 2024). 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?

Total Apneic Events /Total Number Requiring Airway Manipulation (time frame: Up to 6 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Apr 2024.
