About this study

Official title: Prospective Study On Novel Usage of Airway Ultrasound To Detect Subglottic Secretion Above Endotracheal Tube(ETT) Cuff

To compare the performance of ultrasound in detecting subglottic secretion above the ETT tube cuff in comparison to computed tomography (CT) scan.

Read the detailed description

Airway ultrasound will be performed at the bedside prior to CT scan in all intubated patients who fulfiled the criteria. The image of subglottic secretion was then compared to the plain CT cervical. The findings of the CT was examined by a radiologist.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Airway Ultrasound in people with Ventilator Associated Pneumonia, run by Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun at 1 site in Malaysia.

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 2 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 1 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 Malaysia. 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?

Prospective Study on Novel Usage of Airway Ultrasound To Detect Subglottic Secretion Above Endotracheal Tube Cuff (time frame: 90 days). 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 NCT04739878, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Mar 2023.
