About this study

Official title: The Changes of Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressures While Positioning for Adenotonsillectomy or Tonsillectomy Surgery in Children: A Prospective Observational Study

The main purpose of this study was to assess the effect of each of position (neck extension by under-shoulder pillow and Crowe-Davis retractor use) during adenoidectomy and adenotonsillectomy on the intracuff pressure of ETTs in children.

Read the detailed description

The cuff of the endotracheal tube seals the extraluminal airway to facilitate positive-pressure ventilation and reduce subglottic secretion aspiration. As increase or decrease of ETT intracuff pressures can lead to many morbidities. A total of 140 patients younger than 18 years, who were scheduled for elective adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy operation, were included in the study . A standardized general anesthetic was given and cuffed endotracheal tubes by the assistance of video laryngoscope were placed in all patients. The pilot balloon of each endotracheal tube was connected to the pressure transducer and standard invasive pressure monitoring was set to measure intracuff pressure values continuously. The first intracuff pressure value was adjusted to 18.4mmHg (25cm H2O) at supine and neutral neck position. The patients then were given appropriate position for the surgery. These positions were neck extension and placement of mouth gag These positions were neutral position, extension by under-shoulder pillow and placement of the mouth gag. The intracuff pressures were measured and noted after each position, at every 5th minute while the operation and before the extubating. If intracuff pressure deviated from the targeted value of 20-30cm H2O at any time, it was set to 25cm H2O again.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressure and Adenotonsillectomy, run by Istanbul University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 Jul 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Intracuff Pressure (time frame: 0th minute (just after the positioning from neutral to surgical position)). 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 NCT05364281, 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 28 Jul 2023.
