Comparing nasal CPAP masks and nasal airways for tooth extraction under sedation

Comparison of Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Mask and Nasal Airway in Terms of Intraoperative Anesthesia Quality and Postoperative Associated Complications in Impacted Molar Tooth Extraction Patients Under Deep Sedation; A Multi-Center Study

Observational Kırıkkale University · NCT06436638

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) masks versus nasal airways in providing non-invasive ventilation support during impacted molar tooth extractions performed under deep sedation. A total of 60 adult patients will be included, with half receiving nasal CPAP masks and the other half receiving nasal airways. The study will monitor various parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and ventilation metrics to assess patient comfort and safety during the procedure. The aim is to determine which method offers better respiratory support and overall patient experience during dental surgeries.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adult patients aged 18-60 scheduled for impacted molar extractions with a procedure time between 20 to 60 minutes.

Not a fit: Patients with respiratory diseases, severe nasal passage obstructions, or those outside the specified age and BMI range may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance patient comfort and safety during dental procedures requiring sedation.

How similar studies have performed: While the approach of using non-invasive ventilation during dental procedures is established, this specific comparison of nasal CPAP masks and nasal airways is relatively novel.
