Does UROSHIELD® Influence Bacterial Growth On Endotracheal Tubes

NCT02074306 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 66

Last updated 2018-08-07

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of UROSHIELD® (a device which generates low energy ultrasound waves) on development of bacterial colonies on endotracheal tubes, in patient receiving mechanical ventilation, and to determine whether this device lowers the rate of bacterial resistance to antibiotics.

Conditions

  • Mechanical Ventilation Complication

Interventions

DEVICE

UROSHIELD®

An active UROSHIELD® device (low energy acustic wave generator) will be connected to an intratracheal tube externally. The device will transform low energy ultrasound waves on to the tube. These waves will by assumption lower the formation of bacterial growth and resistance to antibiotics.

DEVICE

SHAM UROSHIELD®

SHAM UROSHIELD® will be connected to endotracheal tubes unable to transform any waves.
