About this study

we first examined whether use of tube exchange catheter during NGT insertion could increase the success rate on the first attempt of NGT insertion compared with conventional technique. We then addressed the question of whether the use of tube exchange catheter might decrease the possible occurrence of complication associated with YOON insertion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of attempt of NGT insertion

    After anesthetic induction, in the control group inserting the lubricated NG tube through the nostril, at that time head maintained in the neutral position. The tube-exchanger group made use of tube-exchanger as stylet within 20-F NGT. Success of appropriate NGT insertion through the nostrils until 70cm of NGT was considered with gurgling sounds on the auscultation over the epigastrium when 10ml of air was injected through the NGT and gastric contents aspiration via NGT. Total number of attempts until successful NGT insertion was recorded and tried at least three times, and was considered to have failed.

    Thus, procedure time would be the dependent factor of primary endpoin which could increse the success rate of NGT.

    Measured: after successful insertion of NGT, within 1 hr

  2. Procedure time of NGT insertion

    After anesthetic induction, in the control group inserting the lubricated NG tube through the nostril, at that time head maintained in the neutral position. The tube-exchanger group made use of tube-exchanger as stylet within 20-F NGT. Success of appropriate NGT insertion was considered with gurgling sounds on the auscultation over the epigastrium when 10ml of air was injected through the NGT and gastric contents aspiration via NGT. NGT insertion time recorded when the NGT begun to insert gently through the nostrils until 70cm of NGT.

    Measured: after successful insertion of NGT, within 1 hr

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. presence of bleeding of the larynx, and knotting or kinking of NGT under laryngoscopic view

    The investigators examined the occurrence of complication associated with NGT insertion. After successful NGT insertion, we recorded presence of bleeding of the larynx, and knotting or kinking of NGT using laryngoscopy.

    Measured: after successful insertion of NGT within the time of completion of surgery, expected average within 6 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TUBE EXCHANGER in people with Elective Surgery of Gastrointestinal Tract and 100 Adults Aged Between 20 and 70 Years Old, run by Pusan National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact HYEON-JEONG LEE, PhD (82-10-76807689, lhjksk@pusan.ac.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of attempt of NGT insertion (time frame: after successful insertion of NGT, within 1 hr). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 5 Feb 2013.
