About this study

Official title: Detection of Chlorhexidine in Tracheal Secretions After Routine Oral Care With Chlorhexidine Gluconate: an Ancillary Study of the DEMETER Trial (NCT02515617)

Recent meta-analysis have suggested that the safety of oral care with chlorhexidine in patients under mechanical ventilation could be questionable. Whatever the hypothetical mechanisms involved (direct cellular toxicity, underdiagnosis of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia), presence of chlorhexidine in tracheal secretions after routine oral care is the cornerstone of this potential side effect of the routine oral care with chlorhexidine gluconate. The DEMETER study assessing the medico-economical impact of the subglottic secretions drainage study (NCT02515617) provides the opportunity to perform this proof of concept study (detection of chlorhexidine in tracheal secretions after routine oral care with chlorhexidine gluconate) and to evaluate the impact of the subglottic secretion drainage on this potential detection of chlorhexidine.

This ancillary study will be performed in one of the 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 the participating center, a bundle of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (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 the 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.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of patients with detection of chlorhexidine in tracheal secretions during the period without SSD

    Measured: Day 3 of mechanical ventilation

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Rate of patients with detection of chlorhexidine in tracheal secretions during the period with SSD

    Measured: Day 3 of mechanical ventilation

  2. Cumulative incidence of detection of chlorhexidine in tracheal secretions according to the study group.

    Measured: Day 28 of mechanical ventilation

  3. Rate of patients with detection of chlorhexidine in subglottic secretions during the period with SSD

    Measured: Day 3 of mechanical ventilation

  4. Cumulative incidence of detection of chlorhexidine in subglottic secretions during the SSD period.

    Measured: Day 28 of mechanical ventilation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Endotracheal tubes not allowing SSD and Endotracheal tubes allowing SSD in people with Chlorhexidine and Intensive Care, run by Centre Hospitalier Departemental Vendee at 1 site in France.

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 26 Feb 2019. 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 France. 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?

Rate of patients with detection of chlorhexidine in tracheal secretions during the period without SSD (time frame: Day 3 of mechanical ventilation). 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 NCT02583321, which also lists 2 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 26 Feb 2019.
