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.

Registering a new trial?

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
Subjects will be exposed to 2 interventions:
1. Inhaled 100% oxygen via a face mask for 20 minutes
2. Inhaled 21% oxygen via an identical facemask for 20 minutes.
3. There will be a wash out phase of at least 24 hours between the 2 interventions.
4. The two gases will be administered via douglas bags filled by 21% and 100% oxygen cylinders by a third party

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 4286 0
Change in PaCO2 from baseline measured by a transcutaneous carbon dioxide device attached to the earlobe.
Timepoint [1] 4286 0
20 minutes
Secondary outcome [1] 7223 0
Change in minute ventilation measured by gas flow through an electronic pneumotachygraph attached to the mouthpiece of the facemask
Timepoint [1] 7223 0
