Overview

Brief Summary

It has been demonstrated that Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange used during preoxygenation for emergency surgery is at least equally effective as preoxygenation compared to standard tight fitting mask. Data from a recent study indicates that Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange might decrease the risk of clinically relevant desaturation below 93% of arterial oxygen saturation. The limitations with our previous study is that it was done only during office hours (Mon-Friday 8 am to 4 pm) and that the power to detect the occurrence of desaturation was too low.

Based on the above, the aim is now to conduct a clinical international multicenter study 24/7 with 450 patients and with a simplified protocol that allows the study to be done 24/7. This study is done with the aim of evaluation before implementing this novel technique of preoxygenation into clinical practice.

The general purpose of this project is to compare a the preoxygenation technique based on Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange with traditional preoxygenation with a tight fitting mask during rapid sequence induction (RSI) intubation in patients undergoing emergency surgery.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The number of patients that desaturates below 93% in SpO2 during pre oxygenation up to 1 minute after intubation

Time Frame: From start of anaesthesia until 1 minute after tracheal intubation, that is normally after 3-4 minutes after anaesthesia induction

The number of patients that desaturates below 93% in SpO2 during pre oxygenation up to 1 minute after intubation

Secondary Outcomes

  • Level of end-tidal O2 in the first breath after intubation with Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange oxygenation compared with traditional pre-oxygenation?(At the first breath after tracheal intubation that is usually 2-4 minutes after induction of anaesthesia)
  • Incidence of gastric regurgitation between the groups?(From start of anaesthesia until 2 minutes after tracheal intubation, that is normally after 4-5 minutes after anaesthesia induction)
  • Lowest SpO2 during preoxygenation using THRIVE compared to traditional pre-oxygenation from time to first anesthetic drug given up to 1 minute after intubation.(From start of anaesthesia until 1 minute after tracheal intubation, that is normally after 3-4 minutes after anaesthesia induction)
  • Level of end-tidal carbon dioxide in the first breath after intubation with Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange oxygenation compared with traditional pre-oxygenation?(At the first breath after tracheal intubation that is usually 2-4 minutes after induction of anaesthesia)
  • Difference in numbers of patients being ventilated between the two groups?(From start of anaesthesia until the patient is intubated, usually within 3-4 minutes)
