Trial Outcomes & Findings for High-Flow Oxygen for Dyspnea in Hospitalized Cancer Patients (NCT NCT02932332)

NCT ID: NCT02932332

Last Updated: 2023-04-21

Results Overview

We assessed dyspnea intensity 'now' using a numeric rating scale from 0 to 10 where 0=none and 10=worst. The minimal clinically important difference was 1 point.

Participant Flow

Patients were recruited from MD Anderson Cancer Center with active cancer diagnosis , having age \>=18, an average dyspnea numeric rating scale of ≥4/10 over the past 24 hours, oxygen saturation \>90% on ambient air and able to tolerate high flow nasal canula.

19 patients were randomized for this study. 7 patients were not randomized for various reasons (discharged too early=3, changed mind=2 and others =2)
