简要总结
Total participants in the "Functionality and Accuracy of the smART System in Real-Life ICU Settings" are 10 participants - in the current Jefferson study site there were 8 participants and in the Sheba study site (identifier NCT03689985) there were 2 participants.
This study is conducted in order to validate the functionality and accuracy of the smART™ System in a real-life ICU setting. The smART™ Feeding Tube System is a novel system with nasogastric tube developed by ART Medical (Healthcare) Ltd, based on sensor-lined tubes that transmit real-time information to an external console. The smART™ feeding tube is equipped with reflux sensors which alert when gastric contents regurgitating into the esophagus. In addition, the smART™ feeding tube is equipped with sensors designed to provide information about the location of the tube thus assisting in reducing the incident of misplacement during first positioning. The smART™ feeding tube is also automatically and in real-time stops feeding if the feeding tube moves out of position during ongoing use or detect gastric content in esophagus. Furthermore, smART™ Feeding Tube System can guide operator to correctly re-position the tube. Lastly the smART™ Feeding Tube System is equipped with an anti-reflux mechanism and automatic Gastric Residual Volume (GRV).

研究组 & 干预措施
General
One arm study: smART Feeding Tube System.
干预措施: smART Feeding Tube System (Device)
结局指标
主要结局
Number of Tube "Out of Position" Alerts During Ongoing Use
时间窗: Enrollment day up to 7 days
Any patient , in which the system alerted of tube out of position , the staff verified this according to the tube markings and if mispositioning occurred, this was documented the event in the CRF "out of position"
Number of Automatic System Generated Feeding Stops in Response to Tube Displacement.
时间窗: From insertion of feeding tube up to its removal , an average of 7 days.
In order to prevent aspiration, the system software automatically pinches the feeding tube. Verification of the functionality of automatic feeding cessation when tube displacement is detected was done as part of the formal verification of the system
Number of Major Reflux Event That Lead to Automatically Stops Feeding
时间窗: From insertion of feeding tube up to its removal , an average of 7 days.
Overfeeding is the intolerance of the stomach to feeding material that causes reflux. There are two types of reflux events as defined by the system; minor-reflux and massive-reflux. Both types of reflux events are detected by the level of fluids interacting with the sensors, the severity is defined by gastric content reaching above the lower esophageal sphincter (LES): 1. Minor reflux is defined as gastric content that did not pass the balloon located in the center of the esophagus. 2. Massive reflux is defined as gastric content that reaches immediately above the balloon.
Number of Participants for Whom the System is Able to Accurately Guide and Ensure Correct Initial Feeding Tube Placement , Verified by X-ray
时间窗: Enrollment visit
Average Duration of Balloon Inflation in Response to a Reflux Episode.
时间窗: From insertion of feeding tube up to its removal , an average of 7 days.
Massive reflux of gastric content can aspirate into the lungs and cause pneumonia. The system detects the reflux event and will (according to an algorithm) stop the feeding and or inflate a balloon and evacuate gastric residuals from the stomach to lower the risk of aspiration.
次要结局
- Recording of Impedance Detected by the System and Correlation to Patient Positioning.(From insertion of feeding tube up to its removal , an average of 7 days.)
- Number of Participant With Change in Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) and/or Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) as a Measure of Effectiveness in Reducing Aspiration of Gastric Contents(56 - 168 hours per patient)
