Hypoxemia frequently occurs during bronchoscopy. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy may be a feasible alternative to prevent the deterioration of gas exchange during bronchoscopy. With the convenience of clinical use in mind, we modified an HFNC using a single cannula. This clinical trial was designed to test the hypothesis that a modified HFNC would decrease the proportion of patients with a single moment of peripheral arterial oxygen saturation (SpO) < 90% during bronchoscopy.
In this single-center, prospective randomized controlled trial, hospitalized patients in the respiratory department in need of diagnostic bronchoscopy were randomly assigned to a modified HFNC oxygen therapy group or a conventional oxygen therapy (COT) group. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients with a single moment of SpO < 90% during bronchoscopy.
Eight hundred and twelve patients were randomized to the modified HFNC (n = 406) or COT (n = 406) group. Twenty-four patients were unable to cooperate or comply with bronchoscopy. Thus, 788 patients were included in the analysis. The proportion of patients with a single moment of SpO < 90% during bronchoscopy in the modified HFNC group was significantly lower than that in the COT group (12.5% vs. 28.8%, p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the fraction of inspired oxygen between the two groups. The lowest SpO during bronchoscopy and 5 min after bronchoscopy in the modified HFNC group was significantly higher than that in the COT group. Multivariate analysis showed that a baseline forced vital capacity (FVC) < 2.7 L (OR, 0.276; 95% CI, 0.083-0.919, p = 0.036) and a volume of fluid instilled > 60 ml (OR, 1.034; 95% CI, 1.002-1.067, p = 0.036) were independent risk factors for hypoxemia during bronchoscopy in the modified HFNC group.
A modified HFNC could decrease the proportion of patients with a single moment of SpO < 90% during bronchoscopy. A lower baseline FVC and large-volume bronchoalveolar lavage may predict desaturation during bronchoscopy when using a modified HFNC. Trial registration ClinicalTrials. Gov: NCT02606188.

支气管镜检查过程中常发生低氧血症。高流量鼻导管(HFNC)氧疗可能是一种可行的替代方法,可防止支气管镜检查过程中气体交换恶化。为了临床应用的方便,我们对 HFNC 进行了改进,使用了单根导管。本临床试验旨在检验以下假设:改良型 HFNC 可降低支气管镜检查过程中患者单次外周动脉血氧饱和度(SpO)<90%的比例。
这是一项单中心前瞻性随机对照试验,呼吸科住院患者需要行诊断性支气管镜检查,随机分为改良 HFNC 氧疗组或常规氧疗(COT)组。主要结局为支气管镜检查过程中患者单次 SpO<90%的比例。
812 例患者被随机分配至改良 HFNC 组(n=406)或 COT 组(n=406)。24 例患者因无法配合或遵行支气管镜检查而被排除。因此,788 例患者纳入分析。改良 HFNC 组支气管镜检查过程中患者单次 SpO<90%的比例显著低于 COT 组(12.5%比 28.8%,p<0.001)。两组间吸入氧分数无显著差异。改良 HFNC 组支气管镜检查及检查后 5min 时最低 SpO 显著高于 COT 组。多变量分析显示,基线用力肺活量(FVC)<2.7L(OR,0.276;95%CI,0.083-0.919,p=0.036)和灌洗液量>60ml(OR,1.034;95%CI,1.002-1.067,p=0.036)是改良 HFNC 组患者支气管镜检查过程中发生低氧血症的独立危险因素。
改良 HFNC 可降低支气管镜检查过程中患者单次 SpO<90%的比例。较低的基线 FVC 和大容量支气管肺泡灌洗可能预示着使用改良 HFNC 时会发生支气管镜检查过程中的血氧饱和度下降。
