Brief summary

Evaluation of a Mandibular and Abdominal Motion Detection Sensor (JAWAC) to Prevent Apnea During Sedation With Propofol in TCI Mode

Detailed description

In 2016 , monitoring of propofol sedation , currently recommended by the American Society of Anaesthesiology and European companies includes among others, a pulse oximeter (SpO2) and a continuous measurement of CO2 exhaled by an appropriate device (CapnoLine). This monitoring does not allow to anticipate the occurrence of obstructive apnea . The anticipation of the occurrence of apnea or airway obstruction using this type of monitoring could allow the anesthesiologist to act earlier on the titration of propofol and maintaining the airway. This would avoid the side effects associated with hypoxemia and hypercapnia and therefore further improve patient safety . This pilot study tests the JAWAC system to detect those apneas. This is an interventional diagnostic study on the JAWAC monitoring system validation in a prospective cohort of patients undergoing sedation in order to provoke sleep apnea. Indeed , sedation technique is already used with propofol during snoring provocation tests in patients at risk for sleep apnea.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Optimal JAWAC signal threshold detecting obstructive apneaat time of anesthesiaThe apnea is defined clinically by the anesthesiologist with the help of the capnoLine/Spo2. The purpose is to define the optimal signal detection during a continuous record of the system JAWAC associated with the occurrence of obstructive apnea. The results will give a variation in centimeters for a certain amount of time. It is possible that the optimal signal detection will be a combination of different sensors. The sensibility, specificity versus precocity of the signal will be studied.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time limit between the detection of each system and the episode of désaturationat time of anesthesiaThe assumption is that the signal JAWAC enable an earlier response of the anesthetist and a priori reduce the occurrence of desaturation at the onset of obstructive apnea compared to the capnoLine/spo2 system.
