Trial summary

This is a prospective study looking at ways to measure the cuff pressure of cuffed endotracheal tubes (ETTs). We will be comparing a hand-held manometer (MM) to the transducer of an invasive pressure monitoring setup (IPMS), which is commonly used for arterial or central venous pressure monitoring.

About this study

This is a prospective study looking at ways to measure the cuff pressure of cuffed endotracheal tubes (ETTs). We will be comparing a hand-held manometer (MM) to the transducer of an invasive pressure monitoring setup (IPMS), which is commonly used for arterial or central venous pressure monitoring. The investigators previously did this study in vivo with ETTs in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) "tracheas" and we found that there is good correlation between the pressure readings using the MM and the IPMS. The purpose of the current study is to validate the in vitro findings in clinical situations.

Being tested
Cuffed endotracheal tube

What is being measured

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

  1. Intracuff pressure

    Intracuff pressure is measured via handheld manometer and by using the transducer of an invasive pressure monitoring device.

    Measured: Immediately after intubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anesthesia Intubation Complication, run by Senthil G. Krishna at 1 site in United States.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 2017. 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 United States. 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?

Intracuff pressure (time frame: Immediately after intubation). 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 31 Jan 2017.
