Trial summary

Every year, in France, nearly 100,000 patients hospitalized in intensive care more than 48 hours require invasive respiratory assistance via an endotracheal tube. Appropriate tube fixation is essential to ensure effective ventilation while minimizing potential complications such as accidental extubations. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: "Comparison of Two Methods of Securing Endotracheal Tubes in Intensive Care : Elastic Adhesive Strips vs Lace In A Protective Sheath. A Randomized Multicenter, Cluster and Crossover Controlled Study. FIXATUB"

Every year, in France, nearly 100,000 patients hospitalized in intensive care more than 48 hours require invasive respiratory assistance via an endotracheal tube.

Appropriate tube fixation is essential to ensure effective ventilation while minimizing potential complications such as accidental extubations. However, the fixation system chosen may lead to peribuccal lesions such as bedsores, shearing or cutaneous-mucous tear. These lesions are painful for patients and often unsightly as scar may remain.

Read more

There are no formal recommendations for the use of any type of fixing system. Thus, systems used to secure the endotracheal tube vary from one ICU to another.

The objective of this study is to demonstrate that the fixing strategy by elastic adhesive tape reduces the risk of developing a peribuccal lesion during the time of the endotracheal tube's maintenance.

Study groups in NCT04819425
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Elastic Adhesive StripsExperimentalEndotracheal tube fixed by elastic adhesive tape (Tensoplast type adhesive tape): The adhesive tape will be attached to the patient's face (opposite side to the endotracheal tube) and then two turns around the endotracheal tube will be made. The rest of the adhesive tape will be attached to the other side of the face (side of the endotracheal tube). The laminated tape will be kept on the adhesive tape until it passes over the neck in order to avoid adhering to the hair. Finally, the end of the adhesive tape will be replaced on the part already attached to the patient. It will be changed daily and after stain or examinations if necessary.
Receives: Device: Elastic Adhesive Strips
Lace in A Protective SheathActive comparatorA loop is made with the lace then the endotracheal tube is passed through the loop. The loop is tightened by pulling each side on the remaining cords and a knot is made on one side of the fastener. It will be changed daily and after stain or examinations if necessary.
Receives: Device: Lace in A Protective Sheath

What is being measured

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

  1. Peribuccal lesion

    Appearance of at least one peribuccal lesion during the first 10 days of maintaining the endotracheal tube inserted orally.

    Presence of peribuccal lesion will be validated on picture by an independent review committee.

    The picture will be taken daily without the visible fixing system (blind maintained for the adjudication committee) from J0 to J10 at the site of the endotracheal tube.

    Measured: up to 10 days after intubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Elastic Adhesive Strips and Lace in A Protective Sheath in people with Intubation Complication, run by Centre Hospitalier Departemental Vendee at 13 sites in France.

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 5 inclusion and 10 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 22 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in France. 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?

Peribuccal lesion (time frame: up to 10 days after 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 NCT04819425, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Nov 2023.
