About this study

Official title: Is Positive Pressure Extubation Safe Procedure? A Randomized Non-inferiority Trial.

Laboratory studies suggest extubation with positive pressure because it reduces the volume of secretions filtered into the distal airway. The aim of this non inferiority study is to evaluate the safety of the extubation technique under positive pressure with respect to the traditional technique (with suction and without positive pressure in the airways).

Read the detailed description

The extubation procedure consists of the removal of the endotracheal tube when it is no longer required. The literature reports two methods of extubation: the named traditional method (with suction and without positive pressure in the airways) and the positive pressure method. Laboratory studies suggest extubation at positive pressure because it reduces the volume of secretions filtered into the distal airway. Prior to apply it into clinical practice the investigators of this study consider is a priority to guarantee the safety of the positive pressure extubation method in terms of presence of complications.

The aim of this non-inferiority study is to compare the incidence of complications between both extubation techniques in adult patients with invasive mechanical ventilation.

The hypothesis of this study is that applying positive pressure during cuff deflation and extubation is not inferior to the traditional method in the incidence of complications.

What participants receive

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

  • Positive pressure extubationProcedure or surgery

    Positive pressure ventilation without endotracheal aspiration/suction during extubation procedure.

  • Traditional during extubationProcedure or surgery

    Spontaneous ventilation with endotracheal aspiration/suction during extubation procedure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Presence/A presence/absence of complications after extubation

    Clinical Evidence of at least one of the next complications: persistent cough, airway obstruction, post-obstructive pulmonary edema, bronchospasm, desaturation, vomiting, tachycardia, arterial hypertension.

    Measured: 60 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pneumonia

    Presence of fever, leukocytosis, purulent secretions and a new pulmonary infiltrate on chest radiography

    Measured: 72 hours

  2. Reintubation

    Intubation requirement after extubation

    Measured: 72 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Positive pressure extubation and Traditional during extubation in people with Complication, run by Hospital Donación Francisco Santojanni at 1 site in Argentina.

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 5 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jun 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 Argentina. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Mauro F Andreu, PT (54 11 156878298, maufede@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Presence/A presence/absence of complications after extubation (time frame: 60 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 NCT03174509, 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 5 Jun 2017.
