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

16 de junho de 2026 atualizado por: 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.

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.
Experimental: 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.
