Trial summary

Continuous measurement of intratracheal pressure in mechanically ventilated infants using a fibreoptic pressure transducer in the endotracheal tube (ETT). Based on the findings, tracheal pressure can continuously be monitored in the presence of pediatric ETTs by combining ETT coefficients and the flow and airway… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Continuous Measurement of Intratracheal Pressure in Mechanically Ventilated Infants

Continuous measurement of intratracheal pressure in mechanically ventilated infants using a fibreoptic pressure transducer in the endotracheal tube (ETT). Based on the findings, tracheal pressure can continuously be monitored in the presence of pediatric ETTs by combining ETT coefficients and the flow and airway pressure continuously measured at the proximal end of the ETT.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • endotracheal tube pressure measurement probeDevice

    The endotracheal tube pressure measurement probe is inserted into the endotracheal tube prior to intubation for measurement of tracheal pressure at the tip of the endotracheal tube.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. tracheal pressure

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing endotracheal tube pressure measurement probe in people with Endotracheal Pressure, run by University Hospital Freiburg at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

tracheal pressure (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00866255, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Feb 2010.
