About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Benefits of Different Types of Wearable Respirator Support Devices for Critically Ill Patients in the ICU During Early Mobilization

Assisting critically ill patients with early mobilization or early ambulation during their stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) can reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation use, length of ICU or hospital stay, probability of complications during hospitalization, and sedation days in the ICU and improve disease prognosis. However, over 80% of critically ill patients have endotracheal tubes and require the use of mechanical ventilators in the ICU, and due to the numerous invasive treatments and tubes, there are high concerns regarding the safety of tube stability and risk of tube dislodgement during early mobilization. Although there are commercially available fixed tracheal tubes or external support devices for breathing tubes to prevent displacement, they do not solve the problems of the weight of the breathing tube during ambulation or endotracheal tube slippage. Therefore, through interdisciplinary collaboration, the investigator has designed a "wearable support device" (Type A support device). The unique design of the fixed frame uses a plug-in-latch shape to fix the Y-shaped breathing tube to the patient's chest position. In addition to reducing the displacement of the free section of the endotracheal tube downwards, it can also fix the main body of the breathing tube. The dual-disc strap method allows adjustment of the position and tightness for patients of different body sizes, and a single specification can be used for patients of various body shapes. Currently, a modified version of this wearable support device (Type B support device) has been designed based on clinical suggestions.The purpose of this study is to compare the feasibility, safety, and comfort of using the Type A-support device and the Type B-support device to assist in supporting breathing tubes during early ambulation in ICU patients using mechanical ventilators.

What is being measured

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

  1. wearing time

    the time taken to wear support device

    Measured: From date of randomization up to 5 days

  2. removal time

    the time taken to remove support device

    Measured: From date of randomization up to 5 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. 5-min heart rate variability (HRV)

    including low-to-high-frequency power ratio (LF/HF) and standard deviation of NN intervals(SDNN)

    Measured: From date of randomization up to 5 days

  2. mean values of the rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI)

    recorded the ratio of respiratory rate (RR) and tidal volume (VT) and calulated by RR to VT

    Measured: From date of randomization up to 5 days

  3. user self-reported function, and device satisfaction

    self-made questionnaire

    Measured: From date of randomization up to 5 days

  4. adverse event

    Observe the abnormality of the skin on the chest/back of the base plate before and after wearing it; Record the number of incidents of accidental slippage of the external oral line while performing early ambulation while wearing the support device.

    Measured: From date of randomization up to 5 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing improved version_support device and the NTUH version_support device in people with Device Dislocation, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 9 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 23 Sep 2024. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

wearing time (time frame: From date of randomization up to 5 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Sep 2024.
