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.

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The group being observed is patients undergoing elective airway surgery with apnoeic oxygenation and high flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) as their primary oxygenation technique.
The outcome or condition we are observing is the oxygen concentration in the airway, at the surgical site.
The exposure is that delivered oxygen concentration (FiO2) will be decreased from 100% to 30% for 60 seconds.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 306607 0
Change in airway oxygen concentration.

This will be measured using a gas sampling line placed in the airway using surgical forceps. The line delivers respiratory gases to the AS5 gas analysis module fitted to GE Aisys anaesthetic machines.
Timepoint [1] 306607 0
Airway oxygen concentration will be measured continuously for 60 seconds following the change in delivered oxygen concentration.

This will be carried out once with the tip of the gas sampling line at 1cm beyond the end of the rigid laryngoscope and once with the tip of the line 6cm beyond the end of the rigid laryngoscope.

Following these two measurements the sampling line will be removed and surgery will proceed.
Primary outcome [2] 306608 0
Rate of change of oxygen concentration (% per second).

As above, this will be measured with a gas sampling line in the airway.
Timepoint [2] 306608 0
As above, airway O2 concentration will be measured continuously for 60seconds. This will provide both an overall rate of change (average over 1 minute) and a profile of the change ie exponential vs linear.

This will be carried out with the gas sampling line at 1cm and 6cm beyond the rigid laryngoscope.
Secondary outcome [1] 348990 0
Total anaesthetic apnoeic time (minutes).

This will be recorded by stopwatch from time of rocuronium administration to whichever is sooner of 1. time first spontaneous breath is taken or 2. first positive pressure ventilation breath is administered.
Timepoint [1] 348990 0
The secondary outcome is a timepoint and will be measured in minutes + seconds.
Secondary outcome [2] 348991 0
Lowest recorded O2 saturation.

O2 saturations are measured by the GE Datex monitors in real time. Lowest O2 saturation will be recorded by the anaesthetist during the anaesthetic and will be corroborated by retrospective interrogation of monitor data.
Timepoint [2] 348991 0
Lowest recorded O2 saturation during the apnoeic period.
Secondary outcome [3] 348992 0
Change of anaesthetic technique.

If prior to completion of surgery positive pressure ventilation is undertaken at the discretion of the anaesthetist, including
- bag mask ventilation
- jet ventilation
- placement of an endotracheal tube
- placement of an laryngeal mask airway

this will be considered a change of anaesthetic technique.
Timepoint [3] 348992 0
For the duration of the surgical procedure
