About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressure Between a Taper-guard Cuffed Nasal Endotracheal Tube and a Cylindrical-shaped Cuffed Nasal Endotracheal Tube After Changing in Position of Head

This study was designed to evaluate the effect of change of head position on the cuff pressure of TaperGaurd endotracheal tube , compared to cylindrical endotracheal tube during oral surgery.

Read the detailed description

The patient in cylindrical group (n=26) were intubated with cylindrical shaped endotracheal tube (Unomedical, Kedah, Malaysia) and the patient in tapergaurd group (n=26) was intubated with TaperGuard endotracheal tube (Covidien, Athlone, Ireland). The group allocations were informed to the attending anesthesiologist prior to anesthesia. Tracheal intubation was performed with size of inner diameter 7.0 mm endotracheal tube for male and 6.5 mm endotracheal tube for female by the same anesthesiologist. The anesthesiologist measured cuff pressure and distance from endotracheal tube tip to carina during study period.This study was designed to evaluate the effect of change of head position on the cuff pressure of TaperGaurd endotracheal tube, compared to cylindrical endotracheal tube during oral surgery.

Being tested
TaperGuard endotracheal tube, cylindrical endotracheal tube

What is being measured

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

  1. Cuff pressure

    Cuff pressure is measured with a manometer (Mallinckrodt Medical, Hennef, Germany).

    Measured: 5 minutes after change of head position

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TaperGuard endotracheal tube and cylindrical endotracheal tube in people with Endotracheal Tube and Cuff Pressure, run by Kyungpook National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 28 Oct 2020. 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 South Korea. 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?

Cuff pressure (time frame: 5 minutes after change of head position). 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 28 Oct 2020.
