About this study

Patients of age >18 yo, admitted to the ICU through the surgery department from 2AUG2021 to 1AUG2022 will be divided into three groups:

  1. Patients admitted to the ICU in the first 3-4 months will have their bed head elevated to 15 degrees + H2 blockers administration + mouth wash BID
  2. Patients admitted to the ICU in the following 3-4 months will have their bed head elevated to 30 degrees + H2 blockers administration + mouth wash BID
  3. Patients admitted in the last 3-4 months will have their bed head elevated to 45 degrees + H2 blockers administration + mouth wash BID.

All patients will have their vital signs, BMI, and fluids ins and outs measured every 24 hours until the discharge from the ICU or death. All patients will be evaluated for GI functions (no vomiting, flatus+, bowel movement +, bowel sounds+, and KUB with normal gas distribution pattern) prior to oral intake.

Patients in the three groups will be matched by age, sex, and BMI with historical controls with broncho- aspiration (BA) (positive controls) and without BA events (negative controls) from a pool of 20,032 ICU admissions (01JAN2010 to 31DEC2019).

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Bronchospiration pneumonia among study participants during their ICU admission

    Calculating the number of subjects who developed bronchoaspiration pneumonia compared to the total number of ICU admission

    Measured: 12 Months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determine if there is an association between BA events and death rate in the ICU for the specified time period

    Determining the factors impacting the rate of bronchaspiration and the rate of related death

    Measured: 12 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bed Head elevation, H2 blockers and mouth wash and Data collection for comparison in people with Bronchial Aspiration, run by Marshall University at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 4 Apr 2023. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Rate of Bronchospiration pneumonia among study participants during their ICU admission (time frame: 12 Months). 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 4 Apr 2023.
