About this study

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the CleanSweep™ Closed Suction System on time to first successful spontaneous breathing trial in mechanically ventilated patients in the medical intensive care unit. Secondary aims of this study are to evaluate the use endotracheal tube sweeping compared to closed suctioning effect on length of mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay, length of total hospital stay, and occurrence of ventilator-associated events.

Read the detailed description

This is designed as a prospective, randomized control trial, in a large, urban, academic medical center. This study will include mechanically ventilated patients (n = 272) in the medical intensive care unit (MICU) at Rush University Medical Center. It will exclude patients with a tracheostomy on admission, those requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), or transferred from an outside facility receiving more than 24 hours of mechanical ventilation. Two groups will be randomly assigned via computer randomization. The experimental group will be placed on the CleanSweep™ Closed Suction System immediately after intubation or upon arrival to the MICU. Endotracheal tubes (ETTs) will be cleaned with the balloon sweeping technology every time a respiratory therapist suctions the patient. The control group will be placed on the standard in-line suction device. Airway suctioning will be performed in both groups as per department policy (Catheter advanced until resistance is met and withdrawn slowly for a duration no longer than 15 seconds while applying negative pressure). Both groups will also receive a ventilator bundle that consists of head of bed elevation, ETT cuff pressure management, deep vein thrombosis prevention, daily sedation interruption and SBT, and oral care every 4 hours with chlorhexidine at 12pm (noon) and 12am midnight.

What is being measured

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

  1. Length of Time on a Mechanical Ventilator

    Length of time on mechanical ventilation was recorded in hours.

    Measured: Hospital admission to discharge (up to about 20 days)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to First Successful Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT)

    Time to first successful SBT in mechanically ventilated patients in the medical intensive care unit.

    Measured: Hospital admission to discharge (up to about 20 days)

  2. Length of Time in the Intensive Care Unit

    Length of time spent in the intensive care units in days

    Measured: Hospital admission to discharge (up to about 20 days)

  3. Length of Total Hospital Stay

    Length of total time spent in the hospital in days

    Measured: Hospital admission to discharge (up to about 20 days)

  4. Number of Participants With Ventilator-associated Events

    Number of Participants with ventilator-associated events, like pneumonia

    Measured: Hospital admission to discharge (up to about 20 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CleanSweep Closed Suction System in people with Mechanical Ventilation Complication, run by Rush University 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 Mar 2023. 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 21 Mar 2023). 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?

Length of Time on a Mechanical Ventilator (time frame: Hospital admission to discharge (up to about 20 days)). 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 Mar 2023.
