About this study

Underinflation and overinflation of tracheal cuff are common in intubated patients, including those intubated with polyurethane-cuffed tubes. The aim of this study is to determine the efficiency of a pneumatic device in controlling cuff pressure.

Read the detailed description

Underinflation and overinflation of tracheal cuff are associated with severe complications such as microaspiration of contaminated secretions, and tracheal ischemia. Efficient control of cuff pressure would probably allow reducing complications related to variations in cuff pressure.

Being tested
Pneumatic device, cylindrical or tapered cuff
Keywords
Mechanical ventilation, Intubation, Cuff pressure, Microaspiration

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of patients with underinflation or overinflation of cuff pressure

    Continuous recording of cuff pressure will be performed during 2 24-h periods (with or without the pneumatic device)

    Measured: 48 h

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Impact of tracheal-cuff shape on variations in cuff pressure

    Patients will be intubated with cylindrical or tapered polyurethane cuffed tubes.

    Measured: 48 h

  2. Impact of continuous control of cuff pressure on microaspiration of gastric contents

    Pepsin will be quantitatively measured in tracheal aspirates of all patients during the 2 24-h periods (with or without the pneumatic device)

    Measured: 48 h

  3. Impact of tracheal cuff shape on microaspiration of gastric contents

    Pepsin level in tracheal aspirates will be compared between patients intubated with cylindrical polyurethane cuffed-tubes versus those intubated with tapered polyurethane cuffed-tubes

    Measured: 48 h

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Pneumatic device, cylindrical or tapered cuff in people with Mechanical Ventilation Complication and Tracheal Intubation Morbidity, run by University Hospital, Lille at 1 site in France.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 4 Sep 2013. 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 France. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Percentage of patients with underinflation or overinflation of cuff pressure (time frame: 48 h). 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 NCT01351259, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Sep 2013.
