About this trial

The goal of this investigation is to examine the effect of nasal airflow in invasively ventilated adult patients following planned surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does the investigational device produce an effect measured by EEG? * Are there differences in effect with modified airflow states?

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adults >18 years of age

Receiving sedation via propofol and fentanyl

Undergoing surgical procedure with planned post-operative invasive ventilation

Disqualifiers

Pre-existing neurological injury or condition

    Device

    Provision of airflow to the nasal cavity by F\&P Tui at baseline rate

  • TUI-2

    Device

    Provision of airflow to the nasal cavity by F\&P Tui at modified rate

Group B: TUI-BActive comparator 2 interventions

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Power spectral density of EEG

Mean PSD will be calculated across beta, alpha, delta and gamma frequency bands

Time frame
Before and 10 minutes after initiation of nasal airflow

Secondary outcomes

1

Power spectral density of EEG between interventions

Mean PSD will be calculated across beta, alpha, delta and gamma frequency bands and compared between TUI-1 and TUI-2

Time frame
10 minutes after initiation of nasal airflow
2

Coherence

Inter-regional EEG coherence will be quantified as a measure of functional connectivity

Time frame
Before and 10 minutes after initiation of nasal airflow
