Comparing High Flow Nasal Oxygen and Nasal Cannula for Burn Patients Under Sedation
Comparison of the Effects of High Flow Nasal Oxygen and Standard Nasal Oxygen Therapy in Preventing Hypoxia in Minor and Moderate Burn Patients Treated Under Sedation
This study is testing whether high flow nasal oxygen can help burn patients breathe better during surgery compared to standard nasal oxygen.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to compare the effectiveness of High Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNO) versus standard nasal oxygen therapy in preventing hypoxemia in burn patients undergoing surgery under deep sedation. Conducted at the Burns Center of Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, the study will include 70 volunteer patients aged 18 and older, classified as ASA I-III. Participants will be divided into two groups, with one receiving standard nasal oxygen and the other receiving HFNO during their sedation. The study will monitor and compare the oxygenation levels and respiratory outcomes between the two groups.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are voluntary burn patients over 18 years old with ASA I-III risk scores undergoing surgery for minor to moderate burns.
Not a fit: Patients who are intubated, have tracheostomies, require oxygen therapy due to preexisting conditions, or are pregnant may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance oxygenation strategies for burn patients during sedation, potentially reducing the risk of hypoxemia.
How similar studies have performed: While the approach of using HFNO is gaining traction, this specific comparison in burn patients under sedation is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
