Trial summary

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is defined as patients who either presented with hematemesis or presented with melena along with evidence of hemodynamic compromise. These patients have risk of aspiration of blood along with gastric content. The mortality rate can be 15% to 20% in the cases with variceal bleeding. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Prophylactic Endotracheal Intubation in the Patients With Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding Undergoing Urgent Endoscopy: A Prospective Observational Study

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is defined as patients who either presented with hematemesis or presented with melena along with evidence of hemodynamic compromise. These patients have risk of aspiration of blood along with gastric content. The mortality rate can be 15% to 20% in the cases with variceal bleeding. From a practical standpoint, it is widely accepted that the best way to secure an airway during upper GI bleeding is prophylactic endotracheal intubation (PEI). The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of complications among critically ill patients with upper GI bleeding and received urgent endoscopy.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective observational study. After IRB approval, consecutive patient with upper GI bleeding and undergoing urgent endoscopy will be enrolled to the study over 24 months period. Data pull will be requested from Parkland Office of Research Administration (ORA) regarding eligible subjects and protocol requiring data elements. The data pull will be requested at the end of the 24 months-period.

Primary endpoint:

The incidence of cardiovascular unplanned event within 48 hours of the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy procedure.

Secondary end points:

The incidence of pulmonary unplanned event within 48 hours of the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy procedure.

Being tested
Endotracheal intubation, No airway intervention
Medical subject headings
Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage

What is being measured

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

  1. Cardiovascular unplanned event

    The number of cardiovascular unplanned event after upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, up to 48 hours

    Measured: Postoperative up to 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pulmonary unplanned event

    The number of pulmonary unplanned event after upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, up to 48 hours.

    Measured: Postoperative up to 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intubation;Difficult and Gastrointestinal Bleeding, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center 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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 May 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?

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?

Cardiovascular unplanned event (time frame: Postoperative up to 48 hours). 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 23 May 2022.
