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.

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.
