Differences in Morbidity Between a Necessity Endotracheal Suctioning Protocol Versus a Routine Endotracheal Suctioning

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Ventilator Associated Pneumonia; Hypoxemia; Arrhythmias; Cardiac Arrest
• Interventions: Procedure: Necessity endotracheal suctioning; Procedure: Routine endotracheal suctioning

• Registration Number: NCT01069185
• Lead Sponsor: Hospital Pablo Tobón Uribe

Brief Summary

Morbidity frequency associated to a endotracheal suctioning is different between a necessity endotracheal suctioning protocol versus a routine endotracheal protocol.

Detailed Description

Endotracheal aspiration is a very useful procedure. It has several adverse events every time that aspiration is practiced. This trials wants to identify which protocol (necessity versus routine) could be better to practice in pediatrics intensive care unit with less risk.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Necessity endotracheal suctioning	Necessity endotracheal suctioning	Endotracheal suctioning depends on clinical manifestations
Routine endotracheal suctioning	Routine endotracheal suctioning	Endotracheal suctioning every two hours

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Primary Composite End Point	Every component for primary outcome can be assessed during or after suctioning is applied.For routine protocol, every 2 hours for necessity protocol will depend on patient´s necessity. The assessment was done in each patient during intubation period .	All causes of morbidity. Clinically identified as hypoxaemia, unplanned extubation, cardiac arrythmias, cardiac arrest. Measured as any change in patient´s monitor identified for ancillary nurse and/or confirmed directly by pediatrician.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Mechanical Ventilation Length as Days.	Every day while patient really is intubated.	Number of days under mechanical ventilation during ICU hospitalization length
