Impact of the Subglottic Secretions Drainage on the Tracheal Secretions Colonisation

March 19, 2021 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Departemental Vendee

Impact of the Subglottic Secretions Drainage on the Tracheal Secretions Colonisation: an Ancillary Study of the DEMETER Trial (NCT02515617)

Meta-analysis provide evidence for the benefit of the subglottic secretions drainage (SSD) to reduce the occurrence of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP). Nevertheless, the diagnosis of VAP is widely considered as subjective and prone to both false-positive and false negative assignments. In ths way, the impact of SSD remains controversial and its use limited in Intensive Care Units. The DEMETER study assessing the medico-economical impact of the the subglottic secretions drainage (NCT02515617) provides the opportunity to evaluate the dynamics of tracheal colonisation with and without the realisation of SSD. This evaluation would reinforce the results observed during the DEMETER study in considering the adjudicated VAP incidence.

This ancillary study will be performed in 14 centers participating to the DEMETER study

  • Primary Purpose: Prevention
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Crossover Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Period with endotracheal tubes not allowing SSD
During this period of the DEMETER study (NCT02515617), patients will be intubated with standard endotracheal tubes not allowing Subglottic Secretions
In each participating center, a bundle of VAP prevention will be applied: elevate the head of the bed to 30°-45°, regular oral care, manage patients with sedation algorithm, assess readiness to extubate daily, intermittent control of endotracheal tube cuff pressure
Experimental: Period with endotracheal tubes allowing SSD
During this period of the DEMETER study (NCT02515617), patients will be intubated with specific endotracheal tubes allowing Subglottic Secretions Drainage

In each participating center, a bundle of VAP prevention will be applied: elevate the head of the bed to 30°-45°, regular oral care, manage patients with sedation algorithm, assess readiness to extubate daily, intermittent control of endotracheal tube cuff pressure.

In addition, SSD will be realized using a 10 ml syringe at in attending frequency of 2 hours.
