About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressure Between a Taper-guard Cuffed Tube and a Cylindrical-shaped Cuffed Tube After Changing in Position During Middle Ear Surgery

Endotracheal pressure with different cuff shapes can result in different cuff pressure change after head positional change. In this study, 52 patients underwent middle ear surgery with general anesthesia were randomly allocated to two group; patients were intubated with taper guard cuffed tube or cylindrical shaped cuffed tube. Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane with air/oxygen and remifentanil. The cuff pressure was initially set at 22 centimeters of water in the neural head position and was measured after the change to the 45 degree head rotation. The change of cuff pressure was compared between two groups

Endotracheal pressure with different cuff shapes can result in different cuff pressure change after head positional change. In this study, 52 patients underwent middle ear surgery with general anesthesia were randomly allocated to two group; patients were intubated with taper guard cuffed tube or cylindrical shaped cuffed tube. Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane with air/O2 and remifentanil. The cuff pressure was initially set at 24 centimeters of water in the neural head position and was measured after the change to the 45 degree head rotation. In addition, sore throat, hoarseness , dysphagia and cough were recorded 0, 6, 12, 24 hr after surgery. The change of cuff pressure was compared between two groups. The side effects associated with tube were compared between two groups.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Taper guard tube and Cylindrical tube in people with Cuff Pressure, run by Kyungpook National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 31 Jan 2017. 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 South Korea. 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?

Change of cuff pressure (time frame: 5 minutes after rotation of 45 degree of head). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 31 Jan 2017.
