About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Intermittent Subglottic Secretion Lavage Combined With Aspiration Preventing Ventilator Associated Pneumonia in Patients With Severe Neurological Disease:A Single-center Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of intermittent subglottic secretion lavage combined with aspiration preventing ventilator associated pneumonia in patients with severe neurological disease

Read the detailed description

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common and serious complication of mechanical ventilation. Many studies have shown that the accumulation of subglottic secretions above the endotracheal cuff plays an important role in the pathogenesis of VAP. Subglottic secretion drainage (SSD) has been shown to be associated with a lower incidence of VAP in previous meta-analyses. Most studies in past reported that in the group of patients in whom endotracheal tube (ETT) was used and subglottic secretion drainage was applied compared to the group without subglottic secretion drainage.Very few studies compared two different methods of SSD,such as subglottic secretion lavage combined with aspiration or pure aspiration.The tubes need frequent cleaning as they often get blocked, especially the draining duct. This may be the reason why they are not commonly applied. However,subglottic secretion lavage combined with aspiration can reduce the incidence of tube blockage.So The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of intermittent subglottic secretion lavage combined with aspiration preventing ventilator associated pneumonia in patients with severe neurological disease.

What participants receive

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

  • Subglottic secretion lavage combined with aspirationProcedure or surgery

    Ventilator-associated pneumonia preventive measures were applied to all patients according to VAP bundle. Subglottic secretion lavage combined with aspiration was performed every 4 hours: Underwent preoxygenation before cuff pressure checking, and was maintained between 30 and 35 cmH2O. After aspirating secretions from the mouth, nose, and airway, 2-5 mL distilled sterile water was instilled through the subglottic lumen, and then the negative pressure suction device is connected with the outer opening of the side cavity of endotracheal intubation for suction with a negative pressure of 100 mmHg, and each suction was kept under 15 seconds. Repeat lavage and aspiration until the irrigation fluid is clear. After washing, cuff pressure checking and was maintained between 25 and 30 cmH2O.

Repeat suction until the secretion is completely absorbed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia

    is pneumonia that occurs when an artificial airway is established and mechanically ventilated

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 10 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of draining duct blockage

    If mucus flow stopped during subglottic suctioning with a sudden increase of the negative pressure in the proximal port of the suction suggesting a probable occlusion

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 10 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Subglottic secretion lavage combined with aspiration and Subglottic secretion aspiration in people with Ventilator Associated Pneumonia, run by The First Hospital of Jilin University.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 2019. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (time frame: through study completion, an average of 10 months). 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 12 Mar 2019.
