Trial summary

The objective of the investigators work was to evaluate the impact of 4 sequentially implemented measures for preventing VAP in a major heart surgery ICU. The measures were a specific training program, aspiration of subglottic secretions (ASS), introduction of an inclinometer to improve the semirecumbent position, and… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Impact of 4 Sequential Measures on the Prevention of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia in Major Heart Surgery Intensive Care Unit

The objective of the investigators work was to evaluate the impact of 4 sequentially implemented measures for preventing VAP in a major heart surgery ICU. The measures were a specific training program, aspiration of subglottic secretions (ASS), introduction of an inclinometer to improve the semirecumbent position, and reinforcement of oral care with chlorhexidine.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change (reduction) in the incidence density of Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP)

    Change (reduction) in the incidence density of VAP

    Measured: Baseline and up to 35 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change(length) in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay

    Measured: Baseline and up to 35 months

  2. Change (number of days) in Mechanical Ventilator (MV) per ICU stay

    Measured: Baseline and up to 35 months

  3. Change in mortality rate

    Measured: Baseline and up to 35 months

    Measured: Baseline and up to 35 months

  5. Change in compliance with the measures

    Measured: Baseline and up to 35 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bundle implementation in people with Ventilator-associated Pneumonia, run by Maria Jesus Perez at 1 site in Spain.

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 11 Feb 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 Spain. 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?

Change (reduction) in the incidence density of Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) (time frame: Baseline and up to 35 months). 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 NCT02060045, 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 11 Feb 2014.
