About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Cuff Pressure of an Endotracheal Tube After Supine-to-lateral Position Change: Barrel-shaped vs. Taper-shaped Cuff

To compare the cuff pressure in lateral position between barrel-shaped cuff and taper-shaped cuff

Read the detailed description

The position of endotracheal tubes depends on the position of the patients. The change of the tube's position is known to influence the pressure of tube's cuff. The shape of the cuff (barrel-shaped versus tapered-shaped) may affect the tube's migration degree because of the difference of the frictional force.

The investigator try to compare the the cuff pressure after supine-to-lateral position change between barrel-shaped cuff and taper-shaped cuff.

Being tested
Barrel, Tapered
Medical subject headings
Pain, Pharyngitis, Hoarseness, Cough

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BarrelDevice

    Barrel-shaped endotracheal tube will be used during general anesthesia.

  • TaperedDevice

    Tapered-shaped tube will be used during general anesthesia.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The cuff pressure after supine-to-lateral position change

    The cuff pressure will be measured after supine-to-lateral position change using the Manometer Portex®.

    Measured: At 10 minutes after anesthetic induction

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The distance from the tube to the carina

    The distance from the tube to the carina will be measured using bronchoscopy after supine-to-lateral position change.

    Measured: At 10 minutes after anesthetic induction

  2. Complications related to endotracheal tube

    Complications related to endotracheal tube (sore throat, hoarseness, dysphagia and cough) will be measured as 0:none, 1:mild, 2:moderate, 3:severe at 0, 2, and 24 hours postoperatively.

    Measured: At 0, 2, and 24 hours postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Barrel and Tapered in people with Intubation and Pain, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hyun-Chang Kim, MD (+821028862876, onidori1979@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The cuff pressure after supine-to-lateral position change (time frame: At 10 minutes after anesthetic induction). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02165319, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Jun 2014.
