Descripción detallada
A device will be placed in participants that are intubated in the ICU. The device will remain in place for up to 21 days, removal of the device will coincide with extubation. Surveys will be completed by experienced healthcare providers in the ICU to answer work related questions and provide a baseline for oral trauma in the ICU while intubated. Bedside nurses will be asked to answer questions about their experience with the device during participant use to understand ease of usability and integration into the workflow.

Experimental: Sage Guard Intervention
Participants will wear the Sage Guard device during the study procedure to evaluate its feasibility, safety, usability, and effectiveness in protecting vital structures of the oral cavity. |
The study device is a single-use mouth device made of a soft plastic material (thermoplastic polyurethane). It has side bite blocks that help keep the teeth apart, a center support that helps hold the breathing tube in place, and tongue guards that help protect the tongue from injury. The device is designed for use in patients with an endotracheal (breathing) tube to help prevent injury to the mouth and tongue caused by biting and to help keep the breathing tube stable. |
¿Qué mide el estudio?
Medidas de resultado primarias
Medida de resultado |
Medida Descripción |
Periodo de tiempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Incidence of oral trauma in intubated patients
Periodo de tiempo: Daily assessment up to Day 21
|
The occurrence of oral injuries, including injury to the tongue, lips, cheeks, gums, or other oral tissues, during the period of endotracheal intubation. The incidence of oral trauma will be compared between patients managed with the study device and those receiving standard care. |
Daily assessment up to Day 21
|
|
Incidence of endotracheal tube displacement in intubated patients
Periodo de tiempo: Daily assessment up to Day 21
|
The occurrence of endotracheal tube movement from its intended position during the period of intubation. The incidence of tube displacement will be compared between patients managed with the study device and those receiving standard care. |
Daily assessment up to Day 21
|
|
Incidence of endotracheal tube damage in intubated patients
Periodo de tiempo: Daily assessment up to Day 21
|
The occurrence of endotracheal tube damage during the period of intubation. The incidence of tube damage will be compared between patients managed with the study device and those receiving standard care. |
Daily assessment up to Day 21
|
Medidas de resultado secundarias
Medida de resultado |
Medida Descripción |
Periodo de tiempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Frequency of movement of study device position during endotracheal intubation
Periodo de tiempo: Daily assessment up to Day 21
|
The occurrence of movement of the study device from its intended position during the period of endotracheal intubation. The frequency of device displacement events will be recorded. |
Daily assessment up to Day 21
|
|
Likert Scale Scores of study device use by bedside nursing staff
Periodo de tiempo: Daily assessment up to Day 21
|
Feasibility will be assessed by nursing staff using a standardized questionnaire evaluating ease of device placement, maintenance, removal, and integration into routine patient care workflow. A Likert scale is scored by assigning numbers to each answer choice. You then add up or average these numbers to turn soft feelings into hard data. A standard five-point scale gives a score of 1 to 5 for each question - Higher totals mean more of that trait or feeling. |
Daily assessment up to Day 21

Descripción del plan IPD
Individual participant data (IPD) will not be shared. Due to the small sample size in this pilot feasibility study, sharing de-identified participant-level data could increase the risk of participant re-identification and compromise confidentiality.
