About this study

The aim of this study is to evaluate the appropriateness of the two kinds of nasotracheal tube (PORTEX POLAR [Smiths Medical International, Hythe, United Kingdom], Mallinckrodt TaperGuard [Covidien, Ireland]) depth in neutral, extended and flexed neck position when the upper border of the cuff of endotracheal tube is located 3cm below the vocal cords in neutral neck position.

Being tested
Portex, Mallinckrodt

What is being measured

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

  1. The adequacy of nasotracheal tube tip location in neutral, extended and flexed neck position

    1. whether the tube tip is located above the carina in neutral, extended and flexed neck position when the upper border of the cuff of endotracheal tube is fixed 3cm below the vocal cords (in neutral neck position).
    2. the distance from the carina to the tube tip in neutral, extended and flexed neck position when the upper border of the cuff of endotracheal tube is fixed 3cm below the vocal cords (in neutral neck position).

    Measured: 1 minute after nasotracheal intubation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The adequacy of nasotracheal tube cuff location in extended and flexed neck position

    whether the tube cuff is located below the vocal cords in extended and flexed neck position when the upper border of the cuff of endotracheal tube is fixed 3cm below the vocal cords in neutral neck position.

    Measured: 1 minute after nasotracheal intubation

  2. The adequacy of nasotracheal tube length

    whether the tube cuff cannot be located 3cm below the vocal cords owing to short length of nasotracheal tube.

    Measured: 1 minute after nasotracheal intubation

What does the primary outcome measure?

The adequacy of nasotracheal tube tip location in neutral, extended and flexed neck position (time frame: 1 minute after nasotracheal intubation). 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.
