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

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Patients will receive two oxygen regimes in a cross over fashion: room air (placebo) for 5 minutes before the start and continued until the end of the ETT, and high flow oxygen (15/L minute) (comparator) via a non-rebreather mask for 5 minutes before the start and continued until the end of the ETT. The order that the regimes are received will be allocated randomly and there will be approximately 90 minutes between tests. Exercise will be standardised according to the Bruce protocol for exercise stress tests. The ETT will be stopped for any of the following reasons

ST elevation, LBBB or arrhythmia occurs
The patient requests to stop the test
The development of diagnostic ECG ischaemia for 15 seconds
The cardiology registrar determines that the ETT should be stopped


If none of these endpoints are reached then the duration of the ETT will be determined by the exercise capacity of the patient.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Subjects that consent and meet study criteria will be enrolled into the study and allocated treatment by accessing a randomisation list at a central administration site
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
A computer generated list of randomised subject assignments will be used
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?



Intervention assignment
Crossover
Other design features
An unblinded staff member will administer the treatment. The assessor(s) and data analyst(s) will be blinded.
