Trial summary

Double lumen endotracheal tubes (DLT) are wildly used to maintain independent lung ventilation during thoracic surgery. Our aim is to assess whether the DLT bronchial cuff inflated or not is associated with tube displacement and bronchial mucosal injury while changing position. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Position Related Bronchial Injury Caused by Bronchial Cuff of Double Lumen Endotracheal Tube

Double lumen endotracheal tubes (DLT) are wildly used to maintain independent lung ventilation during thoracic surgery. Our aim is to assess whether the DLT bronchial cuff inflated or not is associated with tube displacement and bronchial mucosal injury while changing position.

Read the detailed description

Experiment group: Before changing from supine position to lateral position, inflate air into the bronchial cuff of double lumen endotracheal tube (DLT) and adjust cuff pressure to 25-30 mmHg.

Control group: Do not inflate air into the bronchial cuff before changing position.

Main result: Degree of left bronchial mucosal injury. Secondary result: Displacement of double lumen endotracheal tube after changing position.

All patients receive general anesthesia and are intubated with left DLT in the supine position. The fiberoptic bronchoscope is used to check the position via tracheal lumen of DLT. The bronchial lumen is placed at the left bronchus and the edge of bronchial cuff is visible by fiberscope.

Before changing position, the bronchial cuff of experiment group is inflated with air and adjusted cuff pressure to 25-30 mmHg. Both groups of patient's neck are fixed by neck collar in order to prevent displacement of DLT by neck rotation. After changing into lateral position, the assistant inflates 2 ml of into the bronchial cuff of control group and adjust cuff pressure to 25-30 mmHg. The investigator, blinded to the tube assignments, uses the fiberoptic bronchoscope to check position of the tube again via tracheal lumen of DLT and record the distance of displacement.

At the end of the surgery, both lumens of DLT are sucked and bronchial cuffs are deflated. After pulling out 3 cm of the DLT, the patient is changed into supine position and the fiberoptic bronchoscope is used to check the degree of bronchial injury.

Being tested
Inflating air into the bronchial cuff before changing position, Inflating air into the bronchial cuff after changing position

What is being measured

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

  1. Left bronchial mucosal injury

    Degree of left bronchial mucosal injury is recorded via bronchoscope. Intact = 0 Redness = 1 Swelling = 2 hematoma = 3 Bleeding = 4

    Measured: Before extubation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Displacement of double lumen endotracheal tube

    Displacement of double lumen endotracheal tube after changing position

    Measured: After changing into lateral position

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Inflating air into the bronchial cuff before changing position and Inflating air into the bronchial cuff after changing position in people with Bronchial Hemorrhage, run by Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Chao-Wei Ma, Kaohsiung Medical University (+886-7-3121101 #7035, warpike@yahoo.com.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Left bronchial mucosal injury (time frame: Before extubation). 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 14 Jun 2022.
