Transnasal Microstream EtCO2 Reduces Hypoxemia During Emergence in Aged Post-Abdomen Surgery

16 juni 2026 bijgewerkt door: Jianbo Wu

Effect of Transnasal Microstream Capnography on Incidence of Hypoxemia During Emergence From General Anesthesia in Elderly Patients After Abdominal Surgery: A Prospective Randomised Controlled Trial

This prospective, randomized controlled study aims to investigate whether transnasal microstream end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO₂) monitoring in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) reduces the incidence of postoperative hypoxemia in elderly patients (65-80 years, ASA I-III, BMI 18-30 kg/m²) undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. A total of 324 patients will be randomized 1:1 to either the control group (standard SpO₂ monitoring and clinical observation with oxygen delivery at 2 L/min via sampling line) or the experimental group (same oxygen delivery plus continuous real-time transnasal microstream EtCO₂ monitoring). The primary outcome is the incidence of hypoxemia (SpO₂ < 90% for >15 seconds) after extubation in the PACU. Secondary outcomes include severe hypoxemia (SpO₂ < 85%), lowest SpO₂ during PACU stay, vital signs at specified time points, PACU length of stay, and other adverse events. Statistical analysis will use chi-square or Fisher's exact test for the primary outcome, with a sample size calculated to detect a reduction in hypoxemia from 33% (control) to 18% (experimental group) (α=0.05, power=80%, plus 20% dropout).

Study Title:

Effect of Transnasal Microstream End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide Monitoring on the Incidence of Postoperative Hypoxemia in Elderly Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Surgery under General Anesthesia with Endotracheal Intubation: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Study

Principal Investigator: Wu Jianbo Department: Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine

Background & Objective:

Postoperative hypoxemia is a common respiratory complication in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). Conventional pulse oximetry (SpO₂) has a delayed response to hypoventilation, especially during supplemental oxygen therapy. This study aims to investigate whether adding transnasal microstream end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO₂) monitoring in the PACU reduces the incidence of hypoxemia in elderly patients after laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia.

Study Design:

Prospective, randomized, controlled, interventional study.

Participants:

324 elderly patients (age 65-80 years, ASA I-III, BMI 18-30 kg/m²) scheduled for elective laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation.

Interventions:

Control group (n=162): Routine monitoring with SpO₂ and clinical observation; oxygen delivery at 2 L/min via sampling line without EtCO₂ monitoring.

Experimental group (n=162): Same oxygen delivery plus continuous real-time transnasal microstream EtCO₂ monitoring.

Primary Outcome:

Incidence of postoperative hypoxemia (SpO₂ < 90% for >15 seconds) after extubation in the PACU.

Secondary Outcomes:

Incidence of severe hypoxemia (SpO₂ < 85% for >15 seconds) Lowest SpO₂ during PACU stay Vital signs at predefined time points

PACU length of stay (Steward Recovery Score ≥ 4)

Other adverse events (e.g., nausea, vomiting, agitation, shivering)

Safety Monitoring:

Device-related adverse events (nasal irritation, bleeding), respiratory events (bradypnea, apnea, airway obstruction), and serious adverse events (e.g., need for advanced airway, cardiovascular events) will be recorded and managed according to a stepwise intervention protocol.

Randomization and Blinding:

1:1 randomization using block randomization (SAS 9.4) with allocation concealment (sealed, opaque envelopes). Partial blinding: participants, outcome assessors, and statisticians blinded; anesthesiologists/operators unblinded.

Sample Size Calculation:

Based on pilot data (expected hypoxemia rate: 33% in control vs. 18% in experimental group), α=0.05, power=80%, plus 20% dropout → 162 patients per group (total N=324).

Statistical Analysis:

SPSS 22.0 will be used. Continuous variables (normal distribution) will be compared using t-test; non-normally distributed variables using Mann-Whitney U test. Categorical variables (e.g., hypoxemia incidence) will be compared using chi-square or Fisher's exact test.

Expected Significance:

This study will provide high-level evidence on whether transnasal microstream EtCO₂ monitoring in the PACU can enhance respiratory safety in elderly patients recovering from laparoscopic surgery, potentially reducing hypoxemia and related complications.

Actieve vergelijker: Control Group (Routine Monitoring Group)
After endotracheal extubation, the sampling end of the sampling line is placed between the patient's mouth and nose, and oxygen is delivered at 2 L/min via the sampling line. The patient receives only routine monitoring (including continuous pulse oximetry and clinical observation) and is not connected to the end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO₂) monitoring device.
After extubation, the sampling line is placed between the patient's mouth and nose to deliver oxygen at 2 L/min. The patient receives routine monitoring including continuous pulse oximetry (SpO₂) and clinical observation, but is not connected to the EtCO₂ monitoring device.
Experimenteel: Experimental Group (EtCO₂ Monitoring Group)
After endotracheal extubation, the sampling end of the sampling line is placed between the patient's mouth and nose, and oxygen is delivered at 2 L/min via the sampling line. At the same time, the sampling line is connected to the monitor to initiate continuous real-time transnasal microstream end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring.
After extubation, the sampling line is placed between the patient's mouth and nose to deliver oxygen at 2 L/min. The sampling line is connected to a patient monitor (RespArrayTM) to initiate continuous real-time transnasal microstream end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO₂) monitoring throughout the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) stay.
