Optimizing High Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygenation in Pediatric Airway Procedures

Optimizing High Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygenation in Pediatric Airway Procedures: a Randomized Study

• Status: Not Yet Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 80 (estimated)
• Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 0 Years – 17 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate which flow rate (higher versus lower) is most effective at increasing apneic time and preventing greater than 5% drop in desaturation, as well as assessing transcutaneous carbon dioxide (CO2) levels during airway procedures in children

Conditions

• Airway Disorder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	High flow	The High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) device (Vapotherm) will be placed through the nostrils for oxygen (2L/kg per min with max of 45L)
DEVICE	Low Flow	The High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) device (Vapotherm) will be placed through the nostrils for oxygen (0.5L/kg per min with max of 5L)
