What is being measured

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

  1. procedure failure of ultrasound to provide this anatomical information and ease of perform

    occurence of a major complications: bleeding, subcutaneous emphysema, oesophageal perforation, number of applied needle interventions, procedure duration, cardiorespiratory arrest

    Measured: During percutaneous tracheostomy an expected average time 20 minutes

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. procedure time

    the procedure duration was taken as the time that elapsed from the placement of the needle to the placement of the tracheostomy cannula.

    Measured: during percutaneous tracheostomy ( average expected time 20 minutes)

  2. Pneumothorax

    Pneumothorax due to the percutaneous tracheostomy detected by clinical examination during the procedure or chest x-ray after the procedure.

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 4 weeks

  3. Tracheal posterior wall injury

    Tracheal posterior wall injury as detected by bronchoscopy after the procedure

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 4 weeks

  4. Accidental decannulation

    Accidental decannulation after the procedure during Hospital stay

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 4 weeks

  5. Cardiorespiratory arrest

    Cardiorespiratory arrest due to percutaneous tracheostomy

    Measured: during percutaneous tracheostomy an expected average of 20 minutes

  6. Minor bleeding

    Haemorrhage that could not be stopped by sponge wrapping the stoma after the procedure and/or blood coming with aspiration inside the tracheostomy tube was defined as minor bleeding

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 4 weeks

  7. Major bleeding

    Continuous haemorrhage from the stoma and/or from the trachea with aspiration despite compresses was defined as a major haemorrhage.

    Measured: During the procedure an expected average of 20 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultrasound guided percutaneous tracheostomy and Bronchoscopy guided percutaneous tracheostomy in people with Tracheostomy Complications, run by Aykut Saritas.

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 10 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

procedure failure of ultrasound to provide this anatomical information and ease of perform (time frame: During percutaneous tracheostomy an expected average time 20 minutes). 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 NCT02656719, which also lists 3 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 10 Mar 2020.
