Clinical Trial Summary

Many studies provide evidence for the benefit of lower respiratory tract surveillance, mostly by culture of endotracheal secretions, to predict bacterial pathogens (especially multi-drugs resistant pathogens) involved in VAP. The DEMETER study (NCT02515617) assessing the medico-economical impact of the subglottic secretions drainage (SSD) provides the opportunity to evaluate the accuracy of the subglottic secretions culture surveillance to predict pathogens involved in VAP (in comparison with the concomitant endotracheal secretions surveillance). These subglottic and tracheal secretions culture surveillance will be masked to the investigators of the DEMETER Study.

This ancillary study will be performed in 14 centers participating to the DEMETER study

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age over 18 years

• Invasive mechanical ventilation delivered via an endotracheal tube and expected to be required more than 24 hours

• Intubation performed in units in which the specific endotracheal tube allowing the subglottic secretions drainage will be available during the SSD period of the trial

• Patients moribund at the Intensive Care Unit admission

• Pregnant, parturient or breast-feeding woman

• Patient hospitalized without consent and/or deprived of liberty by court's decision

• Patient under guardianship or curators

• Lack of social insurance

• Concomitant inclusion in a trial on VAP prevention

• Patient with no comprehension of the French language

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Pneumonia
• Pneumonia, Ventilator-Associated
• Ventilator-associated Pneumonia

Intervention

Device:
• Endotracheal tubes not allowing SSD
In each participating center, a bundle of VAP prevention will be applied: elevate the head of the bed to 30°-45°, regular oral care, manage patients with sedation algorithm, assess readiness to extubate daily, intermittent control of endotracheal tube cuff pressure
• Endotracheal tubes allowing SSD
In each participating center, a bundle of VAP prevention will be applied: elevate the head of the bed to 30°-45°, regular oral care, manage patients with sedation algorithm, assess readiness to extubate daily, intermittent control of endotracheal tube cuff pressure. In addition, SSD will be realized using a 10 ml syringe at in attending frequency of 2 hours.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Rate of adjudicated VAP in which the bacteria involved have been, previously, detected with the subglottic secretions culture surveillance.	For each episode of VAP, bacteria involved will be compared with bacteria isolated, previously, into the subglottic secretions. This comparison will be performed by the microbiologist of each center. A bacteria isolated into the subglottic secretions will be considered as the same than the one involved in VAP if these 2 same micro-organisms have the same antibiotics susceptibility. Moreover, for the comparison, the third last subglottic secretions samples, if available, obtained before the VAP occurrence, will be taking account.	Until weaning of mechanical ventilation, an expected average of 10 days
Secondary	Rate of adjudicated VAP in which the bacteria involved have been, previously, detected with the tracheal secretions culture surveillance.	For each episode of VAP, bacteria involved will be compared with bacteria isolated, previously, into the tracheal secretions. This comparison will be performed by the microbiologist of each center. A bacteria isolated into the tracheal secretions will be considered as the same than the one involved in VAP if these 2 same microorganisms have the same antibiotics susceptibility. Moreover, for the comparison, the third last tracheal secretions samples, if available, obtained before the VAP occurrence will be taking account.	Until weaning of mechanical ventilation, an expected average of 10 days
Secondary	Adequate probabilistic antibiotherapy initiated during the study by the investigators in case of adjudicated VAP	Proportion of VAP for whom the probabilistic antibiotherapy used during the trial appeared to be empirically active	Until weaning of mechanical ventilation, an expected average of 10 days
Secondary	Adequate theoretical probabilistic antibiotherapy with the knowledge of the subglottic culture surveillance	Proportion of adjudicated VAP for whom a theoretical probabilistic antibiotherapy would be empirically active with the knowledge of the results of the subglottic secretions samples obtained more than 3 days before the occurrence of VAP. The theoretical antibiotherapy will be determined by an independent committee unaware of the type of samples evaluated (subglottic or tracheal secretions).	Until weaning of mechanical ventilation, an expected average of 10 days
