Airway AspirationNCT06380023
An Investigation Into the Dispersion Pattern During Coughing and Open Nasopharyngeal Suction Using Various Barrier Devices
An observational study of Airway Aspiration, run by North District Hospital at 1 site in Hong Kong.
Trial summary
The aim of the study is to examine the air dispersion pattern and the environmental influence of open airway suction in general ward setting. Secondly, the study is aimed at identifying a simple \& practical enclosure device in general ward. Suction will be performed in manikin in supine lying. Read more about this study

About this study
The aim of the study is to examine the air dispersion pattern and the environmental influence of open airway suction in general ward setting. Secondly, the study is aimed at identifying a simple \& practical enclosure device in general ward. Suction will be performed in manikin in supine lying.
Nasopharyngeal suction will be performed by physiotherapist with working experience more than 1 years. Besides, surgical mask \& enclosure tent will be adopted as the enclosure barrier device in this study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Airway Aspiration, run by North District Hospital at 1 site in Hong Kong.
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 23 Apr 2024. 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 Hong Kong. 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?
Air particle count (time frame: one minute). 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 Apr 2024.
