Nasal Bleeding clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Determining the Effects of Foley Catheter-assisted Nasal Intubation on Nasal Bleeding in Adult Patients

Start date: October 4, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Nasal endotracheal intubation is a well-utilized and important endotracheal intubation route to allow good surgical access for operations involving the oral cavity. Despite its utility, there are potential complications from nasal endotracheal intubation including that of nasal bleeding, which in severe cases can impair the ability to complete the procedure. The most accepted conventional practice to decrease bleeding associated with nasal endotracheal intubation is to warm the nasal endotracheal tube prior to insertion. However, this technique still yields high rates of nasal bleeding. In 1979, correspondence by MacKinnon and Harrison in Anaesthesia described the use of a flexible urinary catheter (Foley catheter) telescoped onto the endotracheal tube tip to aid atraumatic insertion of the tube. This also served to ensure the tube was not contaminated internally by nasal secretions or blood. This has been more rigorously studied in two RCTs looking at this technique in children, but there has been no similar study in adults. This study aims to extend the evidence base of the use of this technique in adults. Our hypothesis is that the use of a flexible urinary catheter to telescopically aid nasal intubation will result in a significant decrease in the incidence and severity of nasal bleeding.
