Practice of Oxygenation and Respiratory Support During Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy

Practice of Oxygenation and Respiratory Support During Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy: the Oxy-FOB STUDY


Sponsor

University Magna Graecia

Enrollment

10,000 participants

Start Date

Feb 15, 2023

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The current practice of oxygenation and/or ventilation supports in patients undergoing Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy is very heterogeneous among studies published in the literature; in addition, clear outcomes advantages of one strategy over another currently lack. The goal of this observational study is to describe the current practice of oxygenation and/or ventilation supports in patients undergoing Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy (FOB), stratified by baseline respiratory condition, co-morbidities, type of procedure and hospital settings. Investigators will enroll all adult patients undergoing any fiberoptic bronchoscopy in any clinical settings (from outpatients to critically ill patients). No specific exclusion criteria are indicated for enrollment in this study. Investigators will record the following data: * Patient's baseline data. * Type of FOB procedure: toilet bronchoscopy (for secretions, blood, mucus plugs removal), broncho-aspirate (BAS), bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), brushing for cytology, biopsy, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). The type and size of bronchoscope (with or without an internal/external camera) and the time of the procedure will be also recorded. * Type of supportive strategy: no support, Standard Oxygen Therapy, High Flow Nasal Cannula, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and or non invasive ventilation trough mask or helmet, invasive mechanical ventilation. * Sedation * Intra-procedural vital parameters * Occurrence of adverse events: desaturation (i.e. SpO2\< 90% for at least 10 seconds), severe desaturation (i.e. SpO2\< 80%), need for procedure interruption, hypotensive (systolic blood pressure \<90 mmHg) or hypertensive (systolic blood pressure \>140 mmHg) events, new onset of cardiac arrhythmias (specify the rhythm) or myocardial ischemia or electrocardiographic ST-alterations, neurological events (i.e. severe sensorium depression, psychomotor agitation). * Post-procedural vital parameters (15 minutes after the procedure). * Clinical outcomes: need for support escalation, need for admission to ward (for outpatient) or ICU (for outpatients and ward-admitted patient).

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is collecting information about how oxygen and breathing support is provided to patients during flexible bronchoscopy — a procedure where a thin, flexible camera is used to look inside the airways and lungs. The goal is to understand current practices across different clinical settings and improve patient safety. **You may be eligible if...** - You need a flexible bronchoscopy procedure (either as an outpatient or as an inpatient in any hospital ward or ICU) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - There are no exclusion criteria listed for this study Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTBronchoscopy

Patients will undergo to the bronchial endoscopy procedure required for their clinical condition: toilet bronchoscopy (for secretions, blood, mucus plugs removal), broncho-aspirate (BAS), bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), brushing for cytology, biopsy, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS).
