NCT ID NCT01948635
First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated Apr 20, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tested whether a specially shaped tracheal tube cuff could better seal the airway in critically ill patients on breathing machines. Researchers wanted to see if this tapered shape reduced the leakage of stomach and mouth fluids into the lungs, a problem that can lead to pneumonia. The study involved over 300 adult ICU patients who were expected to need a ventilator for more than two days.
