Clinical Trial Summary

Morbidity frequency associated to a endotracheal suctioning is different between a necessity endotracheal suctioning protocol versus a routine endotracheal protocol.

Description:

Endotracheal aspiration is a very useful procedure. It has several adverse events every time that aspiration is practiced. This trials wants to identify which protocol (necessity versus routine) could be better to practice in pediatrics intensive care unit with less risk.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Primary Composite End Point	All causes of morbidity. Clinically identified as hypoxaemia, unplanned extubation, cardiac arrythmias, cardiac arrest. Measured as any change in patient´s monitor identified for ancillary nurse and/or confirmed directly by pediatrician.	Every component for primary outcome can be assessed during or after suctioning is applied.For routine protocol, every 2 hours for necessity protocol will depend on patient´s necessity. The assessment was done in each patient during intubation period .
Secondary	Mechanical Ventilation Length as Days.	Number of days under mechanical ventilation during ICU hospitalization length	Every day while patient really is intubated.
