About this study

Hospitech Respiration Ltd has developed the AnapnoGuard system, an innovative system intended to enhance optimal endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff inflation, by monitoring carbon dioxide (CO2) in upper airways of mechanically ventilated patients. Optimal ETT cuff inflation will lead to a reduction of complication rate related to mechanical ventilation procedure.

This study was design in order to evaluate the feasibility of using the AnapnoGuard system.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AnapnoGuard 100 in people with Ventilator Associated Pneumonia, run by Hospitech Respiration at 1 site in Romania.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 25 Aug 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 Romania. 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?

Recording the changes in optimal ETT cuff pressure and their effectors during the course of mechanical ventilation and intubation in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). (time frame: during intubation (2-14 days)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 Aug 2010.
