High-flow Nasal Oxygenation for Open Mouth

March 26, 2021 updated by: Jin-Tae Kim, Seoul National University Hospital

Effect of High-flow Nasal Oxygenation on Safe Apnea Time in Children With Open Mouth

This study aims to evaluate the effect of high-flow nasal oxygenation on safe apnea time for children undergoing general anesthesia, with their mouth open.

Terminated

Detailed Description

Oxygenation via high-flow nasal cannula is gaining popularity in various clinical settings. It is known to increase apnea time for apneic patients including children. However, high-flow nasal cannula is known to be ineffective when the patient's mouth is kept open.

When trying to intubate the patient during induction of anesthesia, the patient should be apneic with administration of neuromuscular blocking agent, and the mouth should be open for introduction of laryngoscope.

We designed a prospective randomized controlled study to evaluate the effect of high-flow nasal oxygenation in the aforementioned setting for trying to intubate the patient.

  • Allocation: RANDOMIZED
  • Interventional Model: PARALLEL
  • Masking: NONE

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: High flow
Apply high-flow nasal oxygenation during apnea with open mouth after adequate preoxygenation. Resume bag-mask ventilation when pulse oximetry drops to 92% or pre-set apnea time has expired.
Application of oxygenation with high-flow nasal cannula with a rate of 2L/kg/min
Other Names:
  • Airvo 2
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Control
Apply nothing during apnea with open mouth after adequate preoxygenation. Resume bag-mask ventilation when pulse oximetry drops to 92% or pre-set apnea time has expired.
Apnea without any application of oxygenation
