Clinical Trial Summary

Apnoeic oxygenation refers to oxygenation that occurs through the insufflation of oxygen into the lungs in the absence spontaneous respiration or positive pressure ventilation. It is used to extend the time to desaturation at induction of anaesthesia and as a primary oxygenation technique during airway surgery. The impact of high-flow nasal oxygen flow rate selection on gas exchange is poorly understood. Participants in this study will be randomised to receive a certain nasal oxygen flow rate during apnoea and its effect on gas exchange will be measured by blood gas analysis.


Clinical Trial Description

Apnoeic oxygenation with high-flow nasal oxygen has been proposed to result in carbon dioxide clearance. However, this has been poorly quantified. This study will compare use of nasal oxygen at different flow rates during apnoea with that of a control that does not receive nasal oxygen. Participants are anaesthetised after standardised pre-oxygenation with high-flow nasal oxygen, after which they will receive one of three nasal oxygen flow rates (0, 70, 120 L/min). The rate of carbon dioxide elevation will be measured by arterial blood gas analysis after the onset of apnoea and compared between the three groups to discern the relative rates of carbon dioxide clearance after the first minute of apnoea. The effect of nasal oxygen flow rate on oxygenation will also be measured. ;
