Endotracheal Intubation clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Apneic Oxygenation Including Precipitous Intubations During RSI in the ED

RAPID

Start date: March 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This RCT is testing the efficacy of apneic oxygenation during endotracheal intubation in the emergency department. Currently the standard practice in the ED when performing endotracheal intubation is that some providers use apneic oxygenation (the application of a nasal cannula at 15LPM) throughout the intubation procedure, while others do not apply apneic oxygenation. Initial literature in the operating room showed that apneic oxygenation helps prevent desaturation during the procedure. However, the latest literature conducted in critical care settings (one study in the ICU and one in the ED) questions the efficacy of this intervention in critically ill patients; however, no harm has been shown. Our study aims to test this intervention further by adding in a special subset of patients that was excluded from prior studies, precipitous intubations, or those patients that have to be intubated quickly and cannot have adequate pre-oxygenation. We hypothesize that apneic oxygenation will be more efficacious in this subset than in the overall ED population. We will randomize patients requiring endotracheal intubation into intervention (apneic oxygenation) and control (no apneic oxygenation). We will measure the lowest arterial oxygen saturation from the start of the intubation procedure through 2 minutes after intubation is complete.
