Clinical Trial Summary

Tracheotomy is a common procedure for multiple medical indications.Tracheostomy tubes must be securely fixed to prevent movement or decannulation and tracheostomy ties must be exchanged as needed. However, the process of ties exchange is always risky and complicated. A novel tracheostomy tie has been designed to ensure the safety during exchanging and conveniences of cleaning. This study is to determine if the new device is better than the old one.


Description:

Tracheotomy is a common procedure for multiple medical indications. Nursing staff must understand the immediate postoperative and long-term management of tracheostomy patients. To provide safe and competent care, tracheostomy tubes must be taken care of carefully, including cleaning or changing the inner cannula, caring for the stoma, suctioning at least 3 times a day, and replacing tracheostomy ties according to facility-specific policy as needed. However, to avoid inadvertent dislodgement of the tracheostomy tube, the process of ties exchange is always risky and complicated, which request one person to hold the tube in place while a second person performs the tie exchange. The investigators designed a novel tracheostomy tie to ensure the safety during exchanging and conveniences of cleaning, the primary feature of which is double belts and easy to operate. This randomized controlled trial is to determine if the new device is better than the traditional one. Sixty tracheotomy patients without an existing neck injury will be recruited . Patients in experimental group wear a novel tracheostomy tie. The traditional one was used in control group. Difficulty level of exchanging or cleaning the tracheostomy ties, degree of comfort, skin breakdown and the actually frequency of exchanging will be evaluated.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Visual Analogue Scale to Measure the Difficulty Level of Exchanging or Cleaning the Tracheostomy Ties (0 to 10 ) Higher Scores Mean a Worse Outcome Nurses will be evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale/Score to measure the difficulty level of exchanging or cleaning the tracheostomy ties.
Title: Visual Analogue Scale to measure the difficulty level of exchanging or cleaning the tracheostomy ties (0 to 10 ) Higher scores mean a worse outcome
14days
Primary Number of Participants With Local Skin Breakdown Scale for breakdown of neck skin wound was rated as mild, moderate, or severe. "Mild" wounds included fragile skin that was erythematous or had a small amount of breakdown (<1 cm in diameter). Wounds with evident skin erosion or breakdown associated with drainage and/or pain were classified as "moderate." "Severe" wounds were defined as a partial-thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red-pink wound bed. 14days
Secondary Visual Analogue Scale of Comfort of Patients During Wearing or Exchanging Tracheostomy Ties (0-10) Higher Scores Mean Worse Outcome. Visual Analogue Scale/Score will be used to measure the degree of comfort of patients during wearing or exchanging tracheostomy ties Title: Visual Analogue Scale of comfort of patients during wearing or exchanging tracheostomy ties(0-10) Higher scores mean worse outcome. 14days
Secondary Objective Index:the Actually Frequency of Exchanging Dressing The record of the frequency of exchanging dressing under the tracheostomy ties in practice will be collected 14days
