Trial summary

Inhalation is a common condition in patients with impaired their awareness requiring protection of the upper airway by endotracheal intubation. This inhalation may lead to chemical pneumonitis and/or bacterial pneumonia. Only the latter requires the administration of antibiotics. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients hospitalized in ICU for coma (define by Glasgow score < 8) and under mechanical ventilation. Suspicion of bacterial inhalation pneumonia will be confirme by a protected distal sampling during a flexible bronchoscopy.

Who may be able to join

  • Altered consciousness defined by a Glasgow Coma Scale score less than or equal to 8 before protection of the upper airway by endotracheal intubation
  • Patient under mechanical ventilation

Who cannot join

  • Patient with pre-existing impairment of laryngeal function in Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, laryngeal cancer, radiotherapy laryngeal
  • Patient under guardianship
  • Inpatient without consent
  • Pregnant woman
  • Patient previously treated with antibiotics for more than 24 hours at the time of ICU admission
  • Patient with infection at ICU admission which justified probabilist antibiotic treatment
  • Lack of social security

About this study

Inhalation is a common condition in patients with impaired their awareness requiring protection of the upper airway by endotracheal intubation. This inhalation may lead to chemical pneumonitis and/or bacterial pneumonia. Only the latter requires the administration of antibiotics. Patients developing such a bacterial pneumonia, has a mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation and length of ICU stay increased. However, the proportion of patients with such bacterial pneumonia, bacterial ecology and morbidity that are little known.

The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of bacterial pneumonia in patients admitted to the ICU for coma and treated with mechanical ventilation

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the frequency of bacterial pneumonia in patients admitted to the ICU for coma and treated with mechanical ventilation

    Participants will be followed for the duration of ICU stay, an expected average of 4 days

    Measured: ICU Discharge

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Quantify the use of antibiotics during the ICU stay for patients admitted to the ICU for coma and treated with mechanical ventilation

    Participants will be followed for the duration of ICU stay, an expected average of 4 days

    Measured: ICU Discharge

  2. Description of the bacterial flora identified in respiratory specimens.

    Participants will be followed for the duration of ICU stay, an expected average of 4 days

    Measured: ICU Discharge

  3. Identification of predictive factors for development of bacterial pneumonia

    Participants will be followed for the duration of ICU stay, an expected average of 4 days

    Measured: ICU Discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ICU Patients and Under Mechanical Ventilation, run by Centre Hospitalier Departemental Vendee 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 2 inclusion and 8 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 26 Aug 2016. 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.

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?

Determine the frequency of bacterial pneumonia in patients admitted to the ICU for coma and treated with mechanical ventilation (time frame: ICU Discharge). 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 26 Aug 2016.
