Trial summary

There is no accepted standard for the frequency of monitoring endotracheal tube cuff pressures (ETCP). the investigators plan on comparing two strategies for monitoring ETCP in mechanically ventilated patients. Nowadays ETCP is evaluated once every 24 hours. Read more about this study

About this study

There is no accepted standard for the frequency of monitoring endotracheal tube cuff pressures (ETCP). the investigators plan on comparing two strategies for monitoring ETCP in mechanically ventilated patients.

Nowadays ETCP is evaluated once every 24 hours. Next, the investigator want to conduct training for medical and nursing staff. After the training, ETCP will be measured every 8 hours.

The aim of the study is to prove that more frequent pressure control (3 times a day) reduces the occurrence of abnormal ETCP.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing traning seminar in people with Respiratory Tract Diseases and Respiratory Tract Infections, run by Jagiellonian University at 1 site in Poland.

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 Jul 2018. 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 Poland. 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?

monitoring of cuff pressures (time frame: 1 year). 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 Jul 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
