Trial summary

Tracheal cuff overinflation is known to reduce tracheal mucosal blood flow and to increase tracheal morbidity. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probe insertion may increase the tracheal cuff pressure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Increase of Tracheal Cuff Pressure During Transesophageal Echocardiography Probe Insertion: Double-lumen Tube Versus Single-lumen Tube

Tracheal cuff overinflation is known to reduce tracheal mucosal blood flow and to increase tracheal morbidity. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probe insertion may increase the tracheal cuff pressure. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of TEE probe insertion on tracheal cuff pressure and to compare the effects in single-lumen tube and double-lumen tube.

Being tested
balloon pressure adjustment

What participants receive

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

  • balloon pressure adjustmentProcedure or surgery

    Tracheal cuff pressure was adjusted to 18 mmHg (25 cmH2O) before TEE probe insertion

What is being measured

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

  1. Tracheal cuff pressure

    Measured: 1 min after TEE probe insertion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Tracheal cuff pressure

    Measured: every min for 5 min after TEE probe insertion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing balloon pressure adjustment in people with Intubation, Intratracheal, 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 2 inclusion and 9 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 2014. 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?

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?

Tracheal cuff pressure (time frame: 1 min after TEE probe insertion). 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 NCT02034643, 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 2014.
