Continuous Control of Polyurethane Tracheal-cuff Pressure: Efficiency of a Pneumatic Device (Nosten)

August 31, 2013 updated by: Saad NSEIR, University Hospital, Lille
Underinflation and overinflation of tracheal cuff are common in intubated patients, including those intubated with polyurethane-cuffed tubes. The aim of this study is to determine the efficiency of a pneumatic device in controlling cuff pressure.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Underinflation and overinflation of tracheal cuff are associated with severe complications such as microaspiration of contaminated secretions, and tracheal ischemia. Efficient control of cuff pressure would probably allow reducing complications related to variations in cuff pressure.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of patients with underinflation or overinflation of cuff pressure
Time Frame: 48 h
Continuous recording of cuff pressure will be performed during 2 24-h periods (with or without the pneumatic device)
48 h

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Impact of tracheal-cuff shape on variations in cuff pressure
Time Frame: 48 h
Patients will be intubated with cylindrical or tapered polyurethane cuffed tubes.
48 h
Impact of continuous control of cuff pressure on microaspiration of gastric contents
Time Frame: 48 h
Pepsin will be quantitatively measured in tracheal aspirates of all patients during the 2 24-h periods (with or without the pneumatic device)
48 h
Impact of tracheal cuff shape on microaspiration of gastric contents
Time Frame: 48 h
Pepsin level in tracheal aspirates will be compared between patients intubated with cylindrical polyurethane cuffed-tubes versus those intubated with tapered polyurethane cuffed-tubes
48 h
