U.S., July 16 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07706309) titled 'Bronchoscopic Versus Airway Exchange Catheter-Guided Endotracheal Tube Exchange' on July 10.
Brief Summary: This prospective experimental study compares two methods for replacing an endotracheal tube in Thiel-embalmed body donors. The conventional method uses an airway exchange catheter based on the Seldinger technique, whereas the investigational method uses a flexible bronchoscope to provide direct visual guidance throughout the exchange.
The primary outcome is the duration of interrupted ventilation, measured from cessation of ventilation until ventilation is resumed through a correctly positioned replacement tube. Secondary out...
