Study information

Study designRandomised, controlled, crossover multicentre trial
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Hospital
Study typeTreatment
Scientific titlePrevention of cross-transmission of antibiotic-resistant pathogens by using closed instead of open endotracheal suction systems in mechanically ventilated intensive care patients
Study acronymES-trial
Study hypothesisCross-transmission of antibiotic-resistant pathogens can be prevented by using closed suction systems (CSS) instead of open suction systems (OSS) in mechanically ventilated intensive care unit (ICU) patients.
Ethics approval(s)Approval received from the Medical Ethical Review Committee, University Medical Center Utrecht (in Dutch: Medisch Ethische Toetsingscommissie, Universitair Medisch Centrum Utrecht) on September 28, 2006 (ref: 05/311-C).
ConditionMechanical ventilation, complications
InterventionEndotracheal suctioning as indicated, according to a protocol, with either CSS or OSS.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureOccurrence of cross-transmission (primary endpoint), defined as acquired colonisation with a genetically identical pathogen with an epidemiological linkage to a potential source patient.
Secondary outcome measures1. Length of stay in ICU
2. Antibiotic use
3. Cardio-respiratory adverse events (hypoxaemia, cardiac arrhythmia, damage to respiratory mucosa)
4. Mortality
5. The incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and cost-efficacy

Target number of participants500
Participant inclusion criteriaAll adult ICU patients receiving mechanical vetilators (MV) will be included and, during six months, be subjected to the same endotracheal suctioning (ES)-procedure.
Participant exclusion criteriaNo exclusion criteria. Preference of ES system is often based on assuptions, there is currently no scientific evidence available to prefer one system over the other.
