NCT03967769

Brief Summary

This is a randomized clinical trial investigating the utility of apneic oxygenation via high flow nasal cannulae during airway management for infants general anaesthesia. Three groups will be compared, a control group at 0 L/min, a 0,2L/Kg/min and a 1L/Kg/min group. The primary outcome will be the time (in seconds) between onset of apnea and one of theses end-points : desaturation (SPO2 \<95%) or Airway management completed.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Time between apnoea and issues

    Time, in seconds, between the onset of Apnoea (No EtCO2 on the capnogram) and one of these two Issues : * SpO2\< 95% * Airway Management Completed (Orotracheal intubation completed and 3 similar capnograms on the respirator)

    Start at the onset of Apnoea

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Minimal SpO2 during the procedure (%)

    Between Onset of apnoea and airway management completed

  • Time to SpO2 = 90% (in seconds)

    During Airway Management, after Apnoea Onset

  • Numbers of Laryngoscopy attempts (n)

    During Airway management

  • Need to Face Mask Reventilating (Yes/No)

    During Airway management

  • Area under SpO2 curve

    During Airway management

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

Standard Practice

NO INTERVENTION

Infants will have high Flow nasal cannulae placed into the nares before induction. They will be removed from the nares at the end of the study when the airway has been secured. There will be no oxygen flowing through the cannulae in this group during the study.

Low Flow oxygenation

EXPERIMENTAL

Infants will have conventional nasal cannulae into the nares prior to induction of anesthesia. They will be removed from the nares at the end of the study when the airway has been secured. There will be 0,2L/kg/min of oxygen flowing through the cannulae in this group during the study.

Device: High Flow nasal Cannula

High Flow Oxygenation

EXPERIMENTAL

Infants will have conventional nasal cannulae into the nares prior to induction of anesthesia. They will be removed from the nares at the end of the study when the airway has been secured. There will be 1L/kg/min of oxygen flowing through the cannulae in this group during the study.

Device: High Flow nasal Cannula

Masking Details
At each participating center, patients will be followed up for primary and secondary endpoints by members of the research staff who will be unaware of the trial group allocation. Information on whether the primary and secondary outcomes occur will be collected and entered into the electronic web-based case report form (eCRF) by trial or clinical trained personal (clinical research associate), blinded to the allocation group, under the supervision of the local principal investigator (PI) or designee who will also be unaware of the trial group allocation. Finally, the independent trial statistician and the members of the data monitoring and safety committee (DMSC) will also remain blinded for the allocation during analysis.
Purpose

PARALLEL
Model Details: Monocentric prospective, randomized, stratified, parallel-group clinical trial with concealed allocation to 3 groups of Apnoeic Oxygenation during Airway management for general anesthesia in elective surgery. All participants will receive French actual standard of care of surgery and anesthesia.
