Trial summary

When general anesthesia is performed for surgery, tracheal intubation is performed. In order to ventilate after performing tracheal intubation, air is injected into the cuff attached to the tube to fill the gap between the tracheal tube and the patients's inner surface of trachea.

About this study

When general anesthesia is performed for surgery, tracheal intubation is performed. In order to ventilate after performing tracheal intubation, air is injected into the cuff attached to the tube to fill the gap between the tracheal tube and the patients's inner surface of trachea.

Even though, 20 to 30 cm H2O is known to be the appropriate pressure to prevent air leaks while preventing ischemic damage of tracheal mucosa. So, Researchers want to observe clinical differences in pressure at both ends of the safety zone of the cuff pressure.

Read the detailed description

Patients who are scheduled for elective surgery/ general anesthesia are randomized to two groups.

l : cuff pressure - 20cmH2O ll : cuff pressure - 30cmH2O

After tracheal intubation with routine method, cuff pressure is continuously monitored with manometer. The anesthesia during surgery is maintained with 0.8 MAC of desflurane and continuous remifentanil. Clinical outcomes (sore throat, hoarseness and postoperative pain) are evaluated after 0 minutes, 2 hours, 4 hours, and 24 hours after surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cuff pressure in people with Arthroplasty, Replacement, Hip, run by Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center.

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 5 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 31 Jan 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?

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?

postoperative sore throat (time frame: At postoperative 24 hours). 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 2020.
