About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effect of Tube Type and Intubation Technique on Nasopharyngeal Passage During Nasotracheal Intubation

The purpose of the study is to find out the clinical effects that can be obtained during nasotracheal intubation when using velvet-soft PVC tube compared to conventional polyvinylchloride(=PVC) tube.

Read the detailed description

The hypothesis of this study is that the velvet-soft PVC tube can advanced from the nasal cavity to the oral cavity through the posterior wall of the pharynx more smoothly than conventional PVC tube, thus reducing blockade of tube advancement, nasal/pharyngeal mucosal bleeding, and intubation time. In addition, investigators would like to compare the technique of nasal intubation using by connecting rubber suction catheter to PVC tube tip.

What is being measured

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

  1. blockade of tube advancement from the nasal cavity to the oral cavity [ during intubation]

    When entering a nasotracheal tube from the nasal cavity to the oral cavity before use of laryngoscope in nasotracheal intubation, clinicians sometimes encounter blockade of in tube advancement. The reason is that the direction of the nasotracheal tube and the posterior wall of the nasopharynx are anatomically perpendicular. When advancing the tube from the nasal cavity to the oral cavity, the researcher will evaluate the presence of blockade of tube advancement in the pharynx. (none / present)

    Measured: During nasotracheal intubation (From the time of insertion of the tube through the nostril to completion of the intubation )

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Intubation time

    the total time of nasotracheal intubation: From the time of insertion of the tube or tube combined with the rubber suction to the completion of nasotracheal intubation

    Measured: During nasotracheal intubation (From the time of insertion of the tube or tube combined with the rubber suction catheter to the completion of nasotracheal intubation)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing nasotracheal tube (Ring-Adair-Elwin) and nasotracheal tube (portex) in people with Sialolithiasis, run by Gangnam Severance 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 5 Dec 2022. 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?

blockade of tube advancement from the nasal cavity to the oral cavity [ during intubation] (time frame: During nasotracheal intubation (From the time of insertion of the tube through the nostril to completion of the intubation )). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04695444, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 5 Dec 2022.
