Detailed Description
The COSMIC trial will be a multicentred, national, parallel-group, pragmatic vanguard pilot trial in adults (≥18 years) who are mechanically ventilated in the ICU with risk factors for LE and an order to extubate has been provided by the treating physician.
The aims of this study are to assess:
- Protocol adherence
- Recruitment rates
- Secondary clinical outcomes will be collected, and if feasibility criteria are met, ultimately used in the powered trial pending no major protocol adjustments (otherwise will be reported as cohort data).

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention - Cuff Leak Test
A respiratory therapist will perform a Cuff Leak Test on all patients prior to extubation.
If no air leak is auscultated (a failed CLT), extubation will be delayed.
During this time, the patient will receive dexamethasone 4mg intravenous every 6 hours for 12-24 hours and the clinical team will be advised to consider optimizing a patient's fluid status through either diuresis or ultrafiltration if the patient has renal failure.
After 12-24 hours, and once the clinical team decides the patient is ready for another extubation attempt, the CLT will be repeated.
If the patient fails the CLT again, it will be at the discretion of the clinical team how to proceed (i.e.
continue steroid administration, and further delay extubation vs immediately extubating despite a failed CLT) (Figure 3).
A passed CLT at any time point will result in immediate extubation.
|
Clinicians perform the cuff leak test (CLT) to help optimize extubation.
The test requires deflation of the cuff at the end of the endotracheal tube (ETT) and auscultation for air passing around the ETT.
If air movement is not audible on auscultation (a failed CLT) there is a potential presence of laryngeal edema (LE) that may cause post-extubation airway obstruction.
Dexamethasone, will be administered to those patients who fail the CLT in the intervention arm (4mg intravenous every 6 hours for 12-24 hours).
Dexamethasone belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids
|
No Intervention: Control - No Cuff Leak Test
In the control group, once the patient is deemed ready for extubation by the clinical team, the patient will be extubated without performing a CLT, without administration of corticosteroids, and without delay.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Protocol Adherence
Time Frame: 30 days
|
Define a successful adherence rate as ≥75%.
We will calculate the adherence as the proportion of patients that are assigned to the intervention arm following the appropriate treatment algorithm and those assigned to the control arm being extubated without a cuff leak test.
As this pilot trial is ongoing, we will review adherence monthly and investigate the reasons for compliance failure.
We will investigate all reasons for failure to follow the treatment algorithm in the intervention arm, failure to extubate after a patient passes a CLT in the intervention arm, or failure to extubate immediately after randomization in the control arm and report them as a protocol violation.
The RC will review the RT's charting and the medication profile to determine actual compliance.
RC will record all reasons for non-compliance using distinguishing clinical reasons (eg, palliation, death, consent withdrawal and errors).
|
30 days
|
Recruitment Rate
Time Frame: 1 Year
|
Define a successful recruitment rate as enrolling three patients per centre per month over the duration of the trial.
While the pilot trial is ongoing, steering committee will review recruitment weekly and the screening records monthly.
If applicable, we will address barriers to enrolment to maximise recruitment.
The recruitment metric will be measured and interpreted at the end of the pilot trial by calculating the mean number of recruited patients per active screening month.
