Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
High flow humidified nasal oxygen. Oxygen administered via the Optiflow THRIVE device, at a flow rate of 50-70LPM as tolerated, humidified using the Fisher and Paykel 850 humidifier, to a humidity of 70% relative humidity. The oxygen concentration delivered from the device will be 100%, but the actual inspired oxygen concentration will vary with the patient's inspiratory flow rate and degree of air entrainment.

In the intervention group, patients will be put on a THRIVE device with oxygen delivering at 30 L/min immediately upon entering the room, but before sedation administration, for a minimum of 3 minutes. The oxygen delivering rate will be increased to 50 L/min via the THRIVE device immediately after sedation agent is given and will be maintained at 50 L/min during the procedure. The flow rate can be increased up to 70L/min if necessary by the anaesthetist or decreased to 30L/min if patient is not tolerating the device.

The EBUS procedure will only commence once a clinically appropriate level of sedation is reached, titrated by the anaesthetist. As such, oxygen administration will have occurred for a minimum of 3-5minutes before the procedure begins.

Oxygen delivery will continue until the conclusion of the EBUS procedure, and will be removed when the patient is stable for transfer to the recovery room, as judged by the anaesthetist.
