Oxygen Gas for Inhalation for Respiratory Insufficiency
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
In this randomized-controlled trial the investigators will examine the effect of oxygen supplementation on the recovery of breathing for 90 minutes in the immediate post-anesthesia period starting from extubation of the trachea.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you have a chronic pain condition treated with opioids, you would not be eligible to participate.
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Oxygen Gas for Inhalation for Respiratory Insufficiency?
The research indicates that oxygen therapy is essential for treating respiratory insufficiency when there is a significant lack of oxygen in the blood (hypoxemia), especially when levels are critically low. It is most effective when used in controlled and dosed amounts for patients with severe respiratory issues.12345
Is oxygen gas safe for inhalation in humans?
How is the treatment 'Oxygen Gas for Inhalation' unique for respiratory insufficiency?
Oxygen Gas for Inhalation is unique because it provides controlled, continuous oxygen through a nasopharyngeal catheter, which helps improve oxygen levels and overall respiratory function without the risk of worsening respiratory depression. This method allows for safe home use, unlike some other treatments that may require hospital settings.3491112
