Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

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

Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A study to find the flow rate which enables the delivery of a desired inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) in healthy volunteers.
Each participant will have a nasopharyngeal catheter inserted, then they will be started on oxygen through the Fisher and Paykel high flow humidified nasal interface system (MR880, RT241, RT033/034).
FiO2 at different flow rates will be calculated from measured end expired oxygen (FETO2) and carbon dioxide (FETO2) fractions.
Measurements will be made at rest with quiet breathing both for mouth and nose breathing and then repeated with exercise.

Summary
Brief summary
It is likely that high flow nasal systems are able to deliver a more constant and reliable FiO2 than traditional methods.
Our proposed method of measurement of FiO2 is through the insertion of a nasopharyngeal catheter and continuous measurement of end expired oxygen (FETO2) and carbon dioxide (FETCO2) fractions.
Measurements of FiO2 will be made with increasing gas flow rates, inspiratory flow rate (with exercise) and during mouth and nose breathing.
