Critically Ill Clinical Trial
Official title:
Silver-coated Endotracheal Tube Cleaned With a Novel Mechanism for Secretion Removal: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Study.
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a novel cleaning device in keeping silver-coated endotracheal tubes free from bacterial colonization.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Endotracheal tube colonization | Discarded ETTs will be collected after extubation and sent for quantitative and qualitative microbiological analysis after silver ion inactivation | At extubation (an expected average of 7 days) | No |
Secondary | Microbiological colonization of distal airways | Investigators will collect data about distal airways samples performed for clinical reasons during the study period and, in addition, investigators will collect a sample of tracheal aspirate immediately before extubation. | At extubation (An expected average of 7 days) | No |
Secondary | ETT microscopic imaging | Samples of ETT will be collected and stored for Scanned Electron Microscopy and Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy with dead/alive staining | At extubation (An expected average of 7 days) | No |
Secondary | In-vivo respiratory mechanics | Data about respiratory mechanics will be obtained in both groups for each enrolled patient three times a day (q8 hours). These measurements are safe non-invasive. They will require the RT to register pressure, volume and flow parameters from the ventilator in use on the patient. | At extubation (An expected average of 7 days) | No |
Secondary | Drug resistance testing | Investigators will test drug resistances found in isolates of distal airways, tracheal aspirate and inner ETT surface | At extubation (An expected average of 7 days) | No |
Secondary | Infective Processes and Clinical Outcomes | Investigators will keep track of patient data regarding ETT-related infections as well as data about ICU clinical outcomes (hours of mechanical ventilation, days of ICU stay, mortality, occurrence of tracheostomy and occurrence of ETT exchange) | At extubation (An expected average of 7 days) | No |
