Brief summary

The current endovascular treatment has increased the recanalization rate to more than 90%. Even so, the prognosis rate of stroke is still less than 50%. Our previous research confirmed that the neuroprotective effect of Normobaric Hyperoxia (NBO) from multiple perspectives. However, the clinical study on NBO was not satisfactory, which might be due to the absence of vascular recanalization therapy. Therefore, The investigators conducted this RCT study to further explore the Efficacy and safety of NBO combined with endovascular treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Interventions

Within 6 hours after stroke onset, patients were randomized into the NBO group and immediately given 100% oxygen inhalation (no more than 30 minutes after randomization) at a ventilation rate of 10L/ min using a sealed non-ventilating oxygen storage mask and keep giving oxygen for 4 hours. If the patient needs to be intubated with a ventilator to maintain ventilation, the FiO2 should be set to 1.0.

DRUGSham Normobaric Hyperoxia

For Sham NBO group, Patients were immediately given oxygen inhalation (no more than 30 minutes after randomization) at a ventilation rate of 1l/min using the same mask and keep giving oxygen for 4 hours. If the patient needs to be intubated with a ventilator to maintain, the FiO2 should be set to 0.3 and gradualy incerased if spO2≤94%;

PROCEDUREEndovascular Thrombectomy

EVT is the international guidelines for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke with lage vessel occlusion.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Scores assessed by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)24 ± 6 hours, 72 ± 24 hours, 7 ± 2 days after randomizationScores on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) range from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating more severe neurologic deficits
The proportion of neurological function improvement24 ± 6 hours after randomization≥ 4 point reduction in NIHSS score from baseline
Cerebral infarct volume24-48h after randomizationThe infarct volume of cerebral infarct is evaluated by MRI or CT
