About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressure of a Taper-guard Cuffed Tube Between Ipsilateral and Contralateral Rotation of Head During Tympanoplasty; Prospective Study.

This study evaluates the endotracheal tube cuff pressure of a taper-guard cuffed tube during tympanoplasty with ipsilateral rotation of head, compared to the contralateral rotation of head.

The investigators will performed the ipsilateral rotation of head against the fixed tube in half of participants or the contralateral rotation of head in the other half.

Read the detailed description

The inflation of the endotracheal tube cuff is very useful to prevent aspiration of contaminated substances into lung past endotracheal tube and leakage of gas during positive pressure ventilation. However, excessive inflation of endotracheal tube cuff frequently causes tracheal mucosal damage, which can increase the incidence of sore throat, hoarseness, and coughing after surgery.

Taper-guard cuffed tube was newly developed. Taper-guard endotracheal tube is more effective in providing a sealing effect than a cylindrical endotracheal tube in an in vitro study. However, recently, it was reported that the cuff pressure of a Taper-guard endotracheal tube significantly increased after a positional change from the supine to the lateral flank position, compared to that of a cylindrical endotracheal tube. However, during tympanoplasty, the investigators need to rotate head for proper position.

In this study, therefore, the investigators investigate the difference of the endotracheal tube cuff pressure of a taper-guard cuffed tube between ipsilateral and contralateral rotation of head against the fixed tube during tympanoplasty.

Being tested
Ipsilateral rotation of head, Contralateral rotation of head

What participants receive

What is being measured

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

  1. The endotracheal tube cuff pressure

    The endotracheal tube cuff pressure was checked using a manometer

    Measured: During procedure

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

    The distance from the endotracheal tube tip to the carina was recorded again using a fiberoptic bronchoscope.

    Measured: During procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ipsilateral rotation of head and Contralateral rotation of head in people with Anesthesia, Endotracheal and Airway Management, run by Kyungpook 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 1 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 17 May 2018. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The endotracheal tube cuff pressure (time frame: During procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 May 2018.
