Plain English Summary

Background and study aims
The goal of oxygen therapy is to treat or prevent hypoxemia (low concentration of oxygen in the blood). Many different devices can be used to achieve this goal in spontaneously breathing patients. In intensive care unit (ICU) patients, high flow devices provide oxygen at flow rates high enough to completely satisfy the patient’s needs. High flow oxygen therapy is provided by various techniques. The aim of this study is to compare three commonly used oxygen therapy devices (Optiflow™, Boussignac™, and standard facemask with a reservoir bag) to see whether they provide different levels of oxygen, airway pressure, and breathing comfort for the same oxygen flow.

Who can participate?
Patients aged 18 and over who are in the intensive care unit being treated with a tracheostomy tube to help them breathe

What does the study involve?
After their tracheostomy tube is removed participants are treated with the three oxygen therapy devices (Optiflow™, Boussignac™, and standard facemask with a reservoir bag) in a random order. Airway pressure and amount of oxygen inhaled are measured using a catheter (tube) inserted through the hole left by the tracheotomy tube. Comfort is also evaluated.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The results of this study could help determine which oxygen therapy is the most effective for a given patient. There are no risks involved in this study.

Where is the study run from?
Intensive care unit at the University of Montpellier Saint Eloi Hospital (France)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
June 2009 to April 2011

Scientific titleComparison of three high flow oxygen therapy delivery devices: a clinical physiological cross-over study
Study hypothesisOur hypothesis was that three commonly used oxygen therapy devices (1-Optiflow™; 2-Boussignac™, and 3-standard facemask with a reservoir bag) could provide different inspired fractions of oxygen and airway pressure measured in the trachea, as well as respiratory comfort for the same oxygen flow.

To evaluate this hypothesis, a prospective physiological cross-over study was performed in ICU patients.
Ethics approval(s)1. Institutional Review Board of the Saint-Eloi Teaching Hospital (Comité de Protection des Personnes Sud Méditerranée IV, Montpellier, France)
2. National Agency for Health Safety regarding Healthcare Materials (Agence Française de Sécurité Sanitaire des Produits-de-Santé), ref: ID-RCB-2009-A00190-57
ConditionRespiratory failure requiring critical care
Intervention1. Optiflow™
2. Boussignac™
3. Standard facemask with a reservoir bag

Airway-pressures and Fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) were measured by a tracheal catheter inserted through the hole of the tracheotomy tube after removal. Comfort was also evaluated by self-reporting.
