Trial summary

It is aimed to minimise both unplanned extubation and skin damage with the surgical incision drep that we will use to fix the endotracheal tube in neonatal preterm infants and to reduce the complications that may develop due to these events. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Surgical Incision Drep Use in Endotracheal Tube Fixation in Neonatal Preterm Infants: A Randomized Controlled Trial

It is aimed to minimise both unplanned extubation and skin damage with the surgical incision drep that we will use to fix the endotracheal tube in neonatal preterm infants and to reduce the complications that may develop due to these events. In addition, it is aimed to evaluate the relationship between these parameters by using devices measuring skin moisture, skin pH and Neonatal Skin Condition Assessment Scale in experimental and control groups.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of surgical incision drape usage for securing endotracheal tubes in preterm neonates. The study will be conducted using a randomized controlled design, and participants will be divided into two groups: those using the surgical drape and those not using it. The population of the study will consist of preterm infants who are hospitalised in the neonatal intensive care unit of Batman Training and Research Hospital. Intubated preterm infants between 28-34 weeks will be included in the study regardless of gender difference. Research data will be collected by the following methods: Demographic information, Neonatal Skin Condition Rating Scale (NSCS), Skin Ph meter device and skin moisture meter device. Data will be collected every 24 hours during the intubation period. The results of the study are expected to provide important theoretical and practical contributions. The effects of parameters such as skin wounds that may occur due to endotracheal tube fixation in infants, unplanned extubation rates, skin pH and skin moisture at the site of intubation fixation will be compared between the surgical incision drep and the standard group. The research data will be analysed using IBM SPSS 27.0 Programme (Statistical Package for Social Sciences).

What is being measured

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

  1. demographic data

    It will consist of questions such as gestational week, birth weight, postnatal age, frequency of endotracheal tube re-fixation, reason for hospitalization, frequency of aspiration, mode of delivery, gender, phototherapy status, antibiotic status, sedative use, analgesic use, ventilator mode.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. skin ph meter and skin moisture meter

    During the intubation period, skin pH and skin moisture meter data will be obtained from the experimental and control group patients every 24 hours at the intubation fixation site.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing surgical incision drep in people with Preterm, run by Hasan Kalyoncu University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 6 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Mar 2025. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Barış Çelik (5424283452, c.celikbaris@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

demographic data (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 14 Mar 2025.
