About this study

Official title: Drainage of Subglottic Secretions and Prevention of Ventilator-associated Pneumonia in Intensive carE Units: Medico-Economic Study With a Randomized clusTer and crossovER Design: DEMETER Study

In France, despite the implementation of bundles to prevent Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) in the last decades, the VAP incidence remains high above 10 per cent. In the last american recommendations of VAP prevention, the drainage of subglottic secretions (SSD) has been notified among the "basic practices" to prevent VAP. Nevertheless, the diffusion of SSD in ICUs remains limited. This situation is largely due to the initial overcost of the specific endotracheal tubes allowing SSD and to the unavailability of these devices in medical units in which patients are intubated before the ICU admission. So, this pragmatical cluster randomized and cross-over study evaluates the medico-economic impact of the subglottic secretions drainage in addition to VAP prevention bundles in ICU.

What participants receive

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

  • Endotracheal tubes not allowing SSDDevice

    In each participating center, a bundle of VAP prevention will be applied: elevate the head of the bed to 30°-45°, regular oral care, manage patients with sedation algorithm, assess readiness to extubate daily, intermittent control of endotracheal tube cuff pressure

  • Endotracheal tubes allowing SSDDevice

    In each participating center, a bundle of VAP prevention will be applied: elevate the head of the bed to 30°-45°, regular oral care, manage patients with sedation algorithm, assess readiness to extubate daily, intermittent control of endotracheal tube cuff pressure.

    In addition, SSD will be realized using a 10 ml syringe at in attending frequency of 2 hours.
