Trial summary

Meta-analysis provide evidence for the benefit of the subglottic secretions drainage (SSD) to reduce the occurrence of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP). Nevertheless, the diagnosis of VAP is widely considered as subjective and prone to both false-positive and false negative assignments. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Impact of the Subglottic Secretions Drainage on the Tracheal Secretions Colonisation: an Ancillary Study of the DEMETER Trial (NCT02515617)

Meta-analysis provide evidence for the benefit of the subglottic secretions drainage (SSD) to reduce the occurrence of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP). Nevertheless, the diagnosis of VAP is widely considered as subjective and prone to both false-positive and false negative assignments. In ths way, the impact of SSD remains controversial and its use limited in Intensive Care Units. The DEMETER study assessing the medico-economical impact of the the subglottic secretions drainage (NCT02515617) provides the opportunity to evaluate the dynamics of tracheal colonisation with and without the realisation of SSD. This evaluation would reinforce the results observed during the DEMETER study in considering the adjudicated VAP incidence.

This ancillary study will be performed in 14 centers participating to the DEMETER study

What participants receive

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

  • Endotracheal tubes not allowing SSDDevice

    In each participating center, a bundle of VAP prevention will be applied: elevate the head of the bed to 30°-45°, regular oral care, manage patients with sedation algorithm, assess readiness to extubate daily, intermittent control of endotracheal tube cuff pressure

  • Endotracheal tubes allowing SSDDevice

    In each participating center, a bundle of VAP prevention will be applied: elevate the head of the bed to 30°-45°, regular oral care, manage patients with sedation algorithm, assess readiness to extubate daily, intermittent control of endotracheal tube cuff pressure.

    In addition, SSD will be realized using a 10 ml syringe at in attending frequency of 2 hours.

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 4 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 23 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in France, Belgium. 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?

Cumulative incidence of pseudomonas aeruginosa presence in tracheal secretions according to the study group. (time frame: Until weaning of mechanical ventilation, an expected average of 10 days). 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 NCT02583308, 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 23 Mar 2021.
