New ICU tube aims to stop deadly leaks into lungs
NCT ID NCT01948635
Summary
This study tested if a specially shaped breathing tube cuff could better seal the airway and reduce the leakage of stomach and mouth fluids into the lungs of critically ill patients on ventilators. The goal was to see if this new design could help prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia, a serious and common infection in the ICU. Over 300 adult ICU patients expected to need a ventilator for more than two days were included in the trial.
