Trial summary

Nasotracheal intubation (NTI) is commonly used in operations of the mouth, pharynx, larynx and also the neck .Various complications can occur such as epistaxis, bacteremia,turbinectomy, retropharyngeal dissection, and nasal alar pressure sores or necrosis.In clinical practice, nasal pressure sores caused by NTI are… Read more about this study

About this study

Nasotracheal intubation (NTI) is commonly used in operations of the mouth, pharynx, larynx and also the neck .Various complications can occur such as epistaxis, bacteremia,turbinectomy, retropharyngeal dissection, and nasal alar pressure sores or necrosis.In clinical practice, nasal pressure sores caused by NTI are not uncommon, but have failed to attract clinical attention.The investigators have observed that the surgeon fixed the nasal tracheal tube and threaded tube directly to the patient's head. The investigators suspect that this method can reduce the pressure between the nasal tube and the nose.

Nasotracheal intubation (NTI) is commonly used in operations of the mouth, pharynx, larynx and also the neck .Various complications can occur such as epistaxis, bacteremia,turbinectomy, retropharyngeal dissection, and nasal alar pressure sores or necrosis.In clinical practice, nasal pressure sores caused by NTI are not uncommon, but have failed to attract clinical attention.Oral and maxillofacial surgery usually uses nasal endotracheal intubation to manage the airway. The tube fixation directly presses the skin of the patient's nose. Due to the operation, the surgeon must stand on the head of the patient and there is not enough space to place the tracheal tube bracket. Prolonged vascular compression on the nasal region may be caused by excessive tension and angulation of the nasotracheal tube against the nasal tissue.Studies have proposed the use of nasal packing, hydrocolloidal dressing and modified nasal tracheal tube to reduce the direct contact between the nasal tube and the nose, relieve the pressure between the two, so as to prevent the occurrence of alar pressure ulcers, but there is no objective data to show the degree of pressure reduction.In clinical practice, the investigatorshave observed surgeons fixed the nasal endotracheal tube and threaded the tube directly to the patient's head. The investigators suspect that this method can reduce the pressure between the nasal tube and the nose, so the investigators want to use a pressure sensor to monitor the pressure between the two.

What participants receive

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

  • Fixed tracheal tubeProcedure or surgery

    Tracheal tube fixation is determined by the surgeon according to the needs of the operation and is an independent process. Our research simply installed a monitoring device between the tube and the nose. The tube fixation takes place whether the observation of pressures is agreed to or not, as per standard protocol.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Nasotracheal Intubation, run by Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yu Sun, MD,PhD (0086-136-1189-5542, dr_sunyu@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

pressure between the nasal tube and nose (time frame: Immediately after 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 21 Jul 2020.
