Endotracheal Tube Cuff Inflation Pressure Varieties and Response to Education Among Anesthetists

NCT05034666 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: ETT cuff pressure
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 28
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Cuff pressure is essential in endotracheal tube management. Guidelines recommend a cuff pressure of 20 to 30 cm H2O. One study, for instance, found that cuff pressure exceeded 40 cm H2O in 40-to-90% of tested patients. This study will investigate the endotracheal ETT cuff inflation pressure applied by the participating anaesthetists, and their response after being informed about the pressure the participants will apply.

Conditions

Endotracheal Tube

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• accuracy in inflating the cuff of the endotracheal tubes

  assessment of the Anesthetists' accuracy in inflating the cuff of the endotracheal tubes used to maintain the airway of generally anaesthetized patients the change following feedback.

  immediately after fixation of the endotracheal tube during general anaethesia

Study Arms (2)

Before education

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Before alarming the participant anaesthetists about the pressure values of their practice in inflating the ETT cuff. This is before applying the intervention which is informing and educating the participant anaesthetists about the proper ETT cuff pressure.

Behavioral: Before the education program

After education

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Interventions

Before the education program BEHAVIORAL

Before applying the education program of the endotracheal cuff pressure inflation to the participating anaesthetists.

Before education

After the education program BEHAVIORAL

After applying the education program of the endotracheal cuff pressure inflation to the participating anaesthetists.
