What participants receive

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

  • Group CDevice

    Also called conventional circuit

    non-heated, non-humidified conventional breathing circuit was used in group C patient

  • Group EDevice

    Also called Evaqua™ Breathing Circuits manufactured by Fischer & Paykel

    breathing tube which apply humidity and heat (Evaqua™ Breathing Circuits manufactured by Fischer \& Paykel)was used in group E patient

  • Group MDevice

    Also called Mega Acer kit manufactured by Acemedical,Seoul Korea

    Heated humid tube with a warming device (Mega Acer kit manufactured by Acemedical,Seoul Korea)was used in group M patient

What is being measured

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

  1. trend of changes on body temperature

    Investigate differences on core body temperature among different kinds of circuit (heated-humid circuit, humid circuit, conventional circuit)

    Measured: from the point of postintubation up to 5 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. total duration of airwarmer(Bair-Hurgger warming unit) using time

    investigate the total duration of airwarmer using time

    Measured: from the point of postintubation up to 5hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Group C, Group E and Group M in people with Brain Tumor, run by Seoul 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 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 17 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 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

trend of changes on body temperature (time frame: from the point of postintubation up to 5 hours). 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 NCT01831843, 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 17 Sep 2013.
