Trial summary

We have devised a simple method to continuously measure the endotracheal tube cuff pressure (CP) using an invasive pressure monitoring setup (IPMS), which is used routinely in the operating room to monitor arterial or central venous pressures. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Endotracheal Tube Intracuff Pressure and Leak Around the Cuff During Retractor Placement for Tonsillectomy and/or Adenoidectomy

We have devised a simple method to continuously measure the endotracheal tube cuff pressure (CP) using an invasive pressure monitoring setup (IPMS), which is used routinely in the operating room to monitor arterial or central venous pressures. We have previously confirmed both in vitro and in vivo (previous IRB approved protocol), a clinically applicable agreement of the IPMS readings with the values obtained from a standard manometer (gold standard). In the current study, we will prospectively evaluate the relationship between the patient's head position and CP in patients undergoing otolaryngological surgery. A secondary outcome measure is the oxygen or nitrous oxygen concentration in the oropharynx.

Receives: Device: Cuffed ETT

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in the Intracuff Pressure

    Changes in the intracuff pressure from baseline of cuffed ETT's after positioning of the patient's head and retractor placement.

    Measured: during time of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Otolaryngological Surgery, run by Kris Jatana at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 2019. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Jan 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in the Intracuff Pressure (time frame: during time of surgery). 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 NCT02376179, 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 11 Dec 2019.
