Differences in Morbidity Frequency Between a Necessity Endotracheal Suctioning Protocol Versus a Routine Endotracheal Suctioning Protocol in Hospital Pablo Tobon Uribe´s Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). A Randomized Controlled Trial

Morbidity frequency associated to a endotracheal suctioning is different between a necessity endotracheal suctioning protocol versus a routine endotracheal protocol.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Endotracheal aspiration is a very useful procedure. It has several adverse events every time that aspiration is practiced. This trials wants to identify which protocol (necessity versus routine) could be better to practice in pediatrics intensive care unit with less risk.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Primary Composite End Point
Time Frame: Every component for primary outcome can be assessed during or after suctioning is applied.For routine protocol, every 2 hours for necessity protocol will depend on patient´s necessity. The assessment was done in each patient during intubation period .
All causes of morbidity. Clinically identified as hypoxaemia, unplanned extubation, cardiac arrythmias, cardiac arrest. Measured as any change in patient´s monitor identified for ancillary nurse and/or confirmed directly by pediatrician.
Every component for primary outcome can be assessed during or after suctioning is applied.For routine protocol, every 2 hours for necessity protocol will depend on patient´s necessity. The assessment was done in each patient during intubation period .

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mechanical Ventilation Length as Days.
Time Frame: Every day while patient really is intubated.
Number of days under mechanical ventilation during ICU hospitalization length
Every day while patient really is intubated.
