Official title
EVAC Use in the OR: A Randomized Clinical Study to Evaluate the Content of Fluid Extracted From the Endotracheal Tube Cuff Using Intermittent and Continuous Suctioning During Surgery
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
In this study, subjects meeting criteria will be enrolled and randomized to one of two different suctioning schemes, either continuous or intermittent. Accumulated secretions will be collected above the cuff on the breathing tube by one of the two methods depending on which group the subject is randomized into. Secretions will continue to be collected at predetermined periods of time for the duration of surgery in order to characterize the pH and volume as well as the micro-organism content.
