Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Patients being evaluated for bariatric surgery often undergo preoperative upper endoscopy. Patients with obesity are at increased risk for sedation related adverse events during endoscopy. The study evaluated the effect of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) to decrease the incidence of desaturation in patients with severe obesity undergoing upper endoscopy. The study was a randomized controlled trial that assessed the effectiveness of NIPPV in patients undergoing upper endoscopy. Patients were randomized into experimental group NIPPV or control group. Primary endpoints were desaturation events (SpO2 <=94%) and desaturation events requiring intervention (SpO2<=90%). A secondary endpoint was the use of NIPPV to rescue patients who developed a clinically significant desaturation event.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Other: Control
Intervention: nasal cannula (6L O2) + non invasive positive pressure nasal mask (not connected to machine)
Device: Rescue non-invasive positive pressure ventilation through nasal mask
If desaturation below 90 %, nasal cannula removed and non invasive positive pressure nasal mask connected to machine: Inspiratory pressure 12 cm H2O/Expiratory pressure 6 cm H2O which can be increased to meet a tidal volume (TV) of 300-800 mL (target is 450-500), with maximum Inspiratory pressure 18 cm H2O /Expiratory pressure 8 cm H2O on 100% FiO2.If TVs are more or less than 300 to 800 mL range, the pressure will be adjusted by 1-2 cm H2O) accordingly
Other: Secondary rescue maneuvers
If rescue non invasive positive pressure maneuver attempted (including adjustments in pressure) and O2 sat is not above 90 % within 3 min of starting non invasive positive pressure, scope removed and secondary rescue maneuver started. Secondary rescue maneuvers performed at the discretion of the anesthesiologist (chin lift, oral airway, bag mask, nasal trumpet, LMA, intubation). If sat > 90 % with secondary rescue maneuvers, resumption of scope exam to the discretion of anesthesia. If sat does not increase > 90 % with secondary rescue maneuvers, scope exam to be cancelled and patient care per anesthesiologist
Experimental: Experimental
Intervention: Non invasive positive pressure nasal mask (connect to machine once patient is sedated)
Other: Secondary rescue maneuvers
If rescue non invasive positive pressure maneuver attempted (including adjustments in pressure) and O2 sat is not above 90 % within 3 min of starting non invasive positive pressure, scope removed and secondary rescue maneuver started. Secondary rescue maneuvers performed at the discretion of the anesthesiologist (chin lift, oral airway, bag mask, nasal trumpet, LMA, intubation). If sat > 90 % with secondary rescue maneuvers, resumption of scope exam to the discretion of anesthesia. If sat does not increase > 90 % with secondary rescue maneuvers, scope exam to be cancelled and patient care per anesthesiologist

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With an Oxygen Desaturation Event ≤ 94%
Time Frame: Time in seconds beginning with the start of procedure (anesthesia induction) ending with procedure completion (eyes open to verbal stimuli).
Percentage of participants who develop a peripheral oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry ≤ 94%
Time in seconds beginning with the start of procedure (anesthesia induction) ending with procedure completion (eyes open to verbal stimuli).
Percentage of Participants With an Oxygen Desaturation Event < 90%
Time Frame: Time in seconds beginning with the start of procedure (anesthesia induction) ending with procedure completion (eyes open to verbal stimuli).
Percentage of participants who develop a peripheral oxygen saturation event < 90%.
Time in seconds beginning with the start of procedure (anesthesia induction) ending with procedure completion (eyes open to verbal stimuli).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants in the Control Group With an Oxygen Saturation Less Than 90 % Who Responded to Rescue NIPPV
Time Frame: 3 minutes following a desaturation event < 90 %
We used non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) as a first rescue maneuver in control patients who developed an oxygen desaturation less than 90 % and reported on the percentage of participants who responded. The rescue was considered successful with recovery of oxygen saturation more than 90 % within 3 minutes.
3 minutes following a desaturation event < 90 %
