Biphasic Extrathoracic Cuirass Ventilation During Dental Treatment

Israel20 participantsStarted 2008-07

Plain-language summary

The MRTX portable lightweight respirator (MRTX) provides noninvasive respiratory support using biphasic extrathoracic ventilation via a cuirass fitted around the patient's chest.The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of the MRTX during dental treatment under deep sedation in comparison with the conventional treatment where children are only under monitor and only intervention is done when required.Twenty healthy children (ASA1) will wear the cuirass. PO2 saturation and ETCO2 will be recorded as a baseline. Half of the children will be ventilated (with similar values to those of physiologic respiration) and the other half will notThe study is blind, since the anesthesiologist and the dentist would not know if the cuirass of the child is connected to the MRTX or not: Group 1- 10 children with the cuirass will be connected to the MRTX and artificially ventilated at pressures of (-12/+5) at a rate of 20 per minute, and PO2 and ETCO2 will be recorded every 5 minutes. Group 2- 10 children with the cuirass will not be connected to the MRTX, but the machine will work at the same condition. Same records of PO2 and ETCO2 will be registered.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
