About this study

Official title: The Effects of Mentoring on Apnea Time While Using a Novel Fiber-optic Assisted Coaxial Endotracheal Tube Exchange Device

The purpose of this pilot study is to compare the time it takes to change a breathing tube with a new device, performed by two different groups of anesthesiologists; one group will study on their own how to change the tube, while the second group will also receive expert training, before either group performs the procedure for the very first time. The Investigators predict the group who gets expert training will change the tube faster, and those investigators also need to learn how much faster, before moving to a larger study.

Read the detailed description

After informed consent is obtained, two groups of randomized anesthesiologists will receive detailed instructional materials including a brochure to introduce the new device, a videotape showing how the device is used, a detailed slide show explaining each of the steps, and a checklist of the steps to perform during the exchange (E) in simulation. The Mentored group (M) will also receive expert instruction just before the procedure, while the Control group (C) will have the same amount of time to review the steps themselves. Next, they will perform the first exchange procedure (E1) while the pair of experts observe and measure the simulated patients' apnea time. The experts will then conduct a debriefing with the M group, while the C group will debrief themselves before both groups perform the exchange a second time (E2). Both groups will then receive debriefing by the experts. The apnea times and a performance assessment will be compared between M and C to determine the effects of expert training, and will also be compared within each group from E1 to E2, to determine the effect of experience on apnea time and performance. Finally, surveys conducted after E1 and E2, and before debriefing, will determine the participants' satisfaction with the new device. Data on apnea times will be used for a statistical power analysis to determine the size of a larger group necessary to show significant differences in outcomes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Apnea Time

    Apnea time was measured in seconds from the time the ventilator was disconnected from the original endotracheal tube to the time the ventilator was connected to the new endotracheal tube immediately after procedure.

    Measured: immediately after the procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Performance Score

    The performance score is obtained form the performance Score Sheet that includes 15 actions, 1 point is given for each completed action. The minimum score is 0, the maximum score is 15. Higher scores relate to better performance.

    Measured: immediately after the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Expert mentoring and Self-study in people with Effects of Training, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences 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 2 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2022. 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 29 Mar 2017). 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?

Apnea Time (time frame: immediately after the procedure). 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 NCT02763189, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Mar 2022.
