NCT02284438 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 102

Last updated 2020-04-28

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Three endotracheal tubes (ETTs) with different surfaces properties will be studied regarding formation and structure of the biofilm formed on those ETTs.

Cultures from oropharynx and tracheal secretions as well as pieces of the ETT will be examined.

Findings from electron microscopy (EM) and microbiology will be analyzed and compared in respect to the three materials.
