About this trial
Burn-related pain is severe and often difficult to manage. Burn patients often require high doses of opioids and anxiolytics. Anesthetic agents used during sedation such as benzodiazepines, propofol and opioids can cause respiratory depression, predisposing patients to hypoventilation and hypoxemia due to airway obstruction. Oxygen is administered to patients with a standard nasal cannula during sedation. High Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNO) helps to improve the oxygenation of patients with respiratory distress by delivering high flow humidified oxygen through the nasal cannula at a high rate of up to 40-70 liters per minute. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of HFNO and nasal oxygen therapy in preventing hypoxemia in deeply sedated burn patients.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Oxygen saturation SpO2 levels of the cases in %
Each patient will be monitored with an oxygen saturation probe and SpO2 levels of the cases will be recorded before induction of sedation and every 5 minutes, throughout the procedure. Hypoxemia will be detected.
Secondary outcomes
Number of interventions over procedure time
In case of apnea or desaturation, airway interventions will be performed and recorded throughout the procedure.
Other outcomes
Systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressures will be recorded in mmHg
Before induction patients will be monitored, and systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressures will be recorded before induction and every 5 minutes throughout the procedure.
Heart beat will be recorded in beats per minute
Heart beats will be recorded before induction and every 5 minutes throughout the procedure.
