Postoperative Nasal High Flow Versus Oxygen for Positive Airway Pressure Non-Compliance Sleep Apnea Patients

NCT02485236 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 50

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study aims to compare the efficacy of Nasal High Flow Therapy (NHF) with low-flow oxygen supplementation in improving postoperative intermittent desaturations. If so, this mode of therapy would provide a cost effective, relatively easy to implement, and better tolerated treatment to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) for oxygen stabilization.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Low flow oxygen via nasal cannula

In the low flow oxygen group, patients will be supplemented with 1 liter per minute via nasal cannula. Adjustment of initial setting upon floor arrival: To adjust oxygen 1-4 liters per minute to an arterial saturation of oxygen of \> 88%. Continuous oximetry will be collected up to 48 hours. Standard postsurgical care.

DEVICE

Humidified Nasal High Flow Therapy

Adjustment of initial setting upon floor arrival: To adjust oxygen 1-4 liters per minute to arterial saturation of oxygen \> 88%. To adjust air flow to patient comfort (20-35 liters per minute). Continuous oximetry will be collected up to 48 hours. Standard postsurgical care.
