About this study

Official title: Current State of Endotracheal Intubation Among the Critically Ill and Exploring Risk Factors for Immediate Complications of Endotracheal Intubation: a Prospective, Observational Multi-center Study (HEMAIR)

In order to examine the current endotracheal intubation practice among critically ill patients, a prospective observational multicenter study of adult critically ill patients was conducted from July 2015 to January 2017 involving 20 ICUs. In this study, the primary aim was to describe, through a prospective observational multicenter study, the current intubation practice of adult critically ill patients undergoing endotracheal intubations with a focus on deriving and validating a prediction model for both immediate airway and hemodynamic complications.

Read the detailed description

Aim 1: To derive and validate a prediction model for difficult airway (three or more attempts at laryngoscopy to place an endotracheal tube and/or the need for another operator among the critically ill) [37].

Aim 2: To derive and validate a prediction model for hemodynamic compromise, i.e., post-intubation hypotension [defined as a decrease at any point in mean arterial pressure less than 65 mmHg; systolic blood pressure less than 80 mm Hg and/or a reduction in systolic blood pressure of 40% from baseline; or the initiation of, or increase in infusion dosage of, any vasopressor medication (bolus or infusion) during the 30 minute period following intubation] [38-39].

Aim3: To derive and validate a predication model for hypoxemia (decrease in pulse oximetry to oxygen saturation less than 88% during the procedure).

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with Hypoxemia in the 30 minutes following intubation

    Measured: 30 minutes

  2. Number of participants with hypotension in the 30 minutes following intubation

    Measured: 30 minutes

  3. Number of participants with unanticipated difficult airway

    defined by 3 or more attempts or two operators

    Measured: 10 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Mechanical ventilation free days in-hospital

    Measured: 28 days or in-hospital

  2. Total days of ICU/hospital length of stay

    Measured: 30 days or in-hospital

  3. Number of participants with vital status (dead/alive)

    Measured: 30 days or in-hospital

  4. Number of participants with disposition to home, nursing home or long term care facility

    Measured: 30 days or in-hospital

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Tracheal Intubation, run by Mayo Clinic at 16 sites 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 30 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites 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?

Number of participants with Hypoxemia in the 30 minutes following intubation (time frame: 30 minutes). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02508948, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 30 Jan 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
