Decannulation of Tracheostomy Cannula Based on Suctioning Frequency and High-flow Oxygen Protocol in the Intensive Care Unit (DECAP-ICU)

March 9, 2023 updated by: Université de Sherbrooke
In the DECAP-ICU trial, the investigators will be focusing on the impact of a new weaning tracheostomy technique based on suctioning frequency compared to the standard practice of capping tolerance.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Weaning from mechanical ventilation for at least 24 hours
  • Randomisation must be done in 24 hours of the mechanical ventilation weaning.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Sabadell > 2
  • Contraindication of decannulation : Glasgow Coma Scale <6, severe dysphagia, non permeable respiratory tracks, neuromuscular disease (expect for the ICU weakness) and long term tracheostomy.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Suction based protocol
Weaning protocol based on suctioning frequency. Once the weaning of mechanical ventilation, the patients in this arm will be on high-flow nasal canula. The canula will be remove if the decannulation conditions are met (if the patient require less than 2 aspirations in 8 hours for 24 consecutive hours)
cf. arm The necessity of suctioning will be assed continuously by the nurses, respiratory therapist and the medical team. If the patient require 2 or less aspiration each 8 hours for 24 hours straight, an attempt of decanalution will be done.
Other: Usual care
Usual care will mainly base on the capping trial.
Usual care in our center is tolerance to a capping trial.
