What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

THRIVE (Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange) refers to the use of high-flow nasal cannula to augment the ability to oxygenate and ventilate a patient under general anesthesia. The use of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen supplementation during anesthesia for surgical procedures has been a recent development in the adult population, with limited data analyzing the pediatric population. This study will determine whether high flow nasal cannula oxygen supplementation during surgical or endoscopic procedures can prevent desaturation events in children under anesthesia and improve the outcomes of that surgery.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for children under 18 needing general anesthesia for surgeries or procedures. It's not suitable for pregnant individuals, those without parental consent, kids with certain nasal conditions (like fractures or obstructions), or if they have a tracheostomy tube. Emergent surgeries where HFNC could cause delays or increase aspiration risk are also excluded.

Inclusion Criteria

I am under 18 and will have surgery with general anesthesia.

Exclusion Criteria

Absence of parent or legal guardian able to provide written consent for study participation

Pregnancy

I need urgent surgery that could be delayed or risk increased by using a high-flow nasal cannula.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• THRIVE

Trial Overview The study tests the use of THRIVE - high-flow oxygen through a nasal cannula during surgery to see if it prevents low oxygen levels in pediatric patients under anesthesia and improves surgical outcomes.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Intervention Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Treatment subjects will undergo the scheduled procedure, with the difference being that a high-flow nasal cannula will be applied prior to the start of the procedure and removed following the procedure's conclusion. While applied, the cannula will deliver high- flow rate oxygen, air, or a mixture of variable oxygen concentration (21-100%) depending on the surgical conditions and requirements. The rate will be set at 1-4L/kg/min with a maximum of 70L/min. Participants in the treatment arm will then proceed to the recovery area as usual. Following recovery from anesthesia, a brief questionnaire will be provided to applicable patients or their parents / guardians / representatives. Intervention: Device: High-flow nasal cannula

Group II: Control Active Control 1 Intervention

Control subjects will undergo their scheduled procedure and recovery with the usual care. Following recovery from anesthesia, a brief questionnaire will be provided to applicable patients or their parents / guardians / representatives.
