EVALUATION OF OXYGEN DELIVERY SYSTEMS DURING FIBEROPTIC BRONCHOSCOPY: HIGH FLOW NASAL CANNULA VERSUS CONVENTIONAL NASAL PRONGS
Abstract
Background
Acute hypoxia induced by fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FBS) is a life-threatening complication and a limiting factor for the procedure requiring oxygen delivery systems for prevention and treatment.
Objectives
Assessing efficiency and safety of high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) compared to conventional nasal prongs (CNP) during FBS.
Methods
We conducted a prospective, controlled (non-blinded) clinical trial from 2015 to 2019 including 104 paediatric patients (n=104) from 0 to 16 years who were randomly allocated to two study groups (HFNC versus CNP) undergoing elective FBS. Oxygen administration through HFNC or CNP was given throughout the procedure and in case of hypoxia gas flow was increased. We performed a statistical analysis including demographic and clinical characteristics, number and severity of desaturations, adverse events, Ramsay Sedation Scale and bronchoscopic satisfaction score.
Results
Not included
Conclusion
Oxygen delivery through HFNC is safe and reduces number and severity of hypoxic events during FBS compared to CNP.
