Clinical Trial Summary

Deep sedation during gastrointestinal endoscopy in patients with cardiopulmonary risk factors such as respective co-morbidities or also morbid obesity is challenging. Those high-risk patients are at risk of upper airway obstruction and hypoxemia. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure may help to decrease the incidence of peri-interventional hypoxemia. However, data on nasal continuous positive airway pressure in high-risk patients having gastrointestinal endoscopy are scarce; only one randomized trial on gastroscopy in obese patients is available (Kang et al. J Anesth 2021). In a very high-risk group, namely patients assessed for heart or lung transplantation in our hospital, the risk was especially high (unpublished data). Aim of this trial is the effect of nasal continuous positive airway pressure - compared to nasal oxygen insufflation - on the incidence of hypoxemia in high-risk patients having gastrointestinal endoscopy in deep sedation. The investigators hypothesize that nasal continuous positive airway pressure - compared to nasal oxygen insufflation - reduces the incidence of hypoxemia in high-risk patients having gastrointestinal endoscopy in deep sedation.


Clinical Trial Description

High risk patients were defined as American Society of Anaesthesiology (ASA) class >3 and/or BMI ≥30 kg/m², in accordance with the current World Health Organization (WHO) definition of obesity scheduled for elective gastrointestinal endoscopy with deep sedation. The main objective was investigating the incidences of hypoxemia defined as a peripheral oxygen saturation of ≤90% registered with the monitoring system of our working station (company: Masimo; type: Root) after inducing deep sedation while under endoscopy intervention. Secondary outcomes such as the duration of the whole intervention, the duration of hypoxemia or the incidence of need for airway interventions will also be investigated. Patients will be randomized and divided into nCPAP group and nasal oxygenation insufflation group. Depending on the type of endoscopy a positive airway pressure between 3 and 10 cmH20 can be generated with the nCPAP mask using an oxygenflow rate of 6l/min. Deep sedation will be performed under surveillance of an anaesthesia team using only propofol bolus adjusted to predicted body weight (PBW)(1mg/kg) followed by continuous infusion of 4mg/kg/h adjusted to lean body weight (LBW), which is described by MacDonald et al. (doi: 10.1177/1751143714565059) as : PBW (m) (kg) = 50 + [0.91 ×(Height in cm - 152.4) PBW (f) (kg) = 45,5 + [0.91 ×(Height in cm - 152.4) Ideal body weight (IBW) (m) (kg) = 50 + [0.9 ×(Height in cm - 154) IBW (f) (kg) = 45,5 + [0.9 ×(Height in cm - 154) Adjusted Body Weight (ABW): IBW+0,4* (Absoluteweight-IBW) LBW (m) (kg) = (9270 x TBW) / (6680+(216 x BMI) LBW (f) (kg) = (9270 x TBW) / (8780+(244 x BMI) The level of sedation will be evaluated using the MOAA/S Score (modified observer's assessment of alertness/sedation scale) described by Kowalski et al. (DOI:10.1097/00003643-200706001-00097). The sample size calculation is based on the primary outcome of the incidence of hypoxemia defined as a peripheral oxygen saturation of ≤90% after inducing deep sedation while performing endoscopy. The incidence of the primary outcome was assumed to be 30% in nasal oxygen insufflation group and 10% in the nasal continuous positive airway pressure group. A total sample size of 158, i.e., 79 patients per group, is required to achieve 90% power in the detection of a difference of 20% between the group incidences at a significance level of 0.05 using a two-sided test of proportions. The randomization and division in subgroup "nasal continuous positive airway pressure" and "nasal oxygen insufflation" will occur prior to study entry. The entire collective will be divided into 2 populations and the allocation sealed in envelopes. The envelope will only be opened directly before the study so that investigator bias can be minimized. ;
