Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests if the PINS Bundle can make intubation safer for newborns in intensive care. The PINS Bundle involves personalized planning and using specific tools and techniques to reduce complications during intubation.

Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.

What data supports the effectiveness of the PINS Bundle treatment for infant intubation safety?

Research shows that using a safety bundle for tracheal intubation in pediatric intensive care units can reduce adverse events and improve safety. This approach involves careful planning, preparation, and review, which has been shown to enhance the quality and safety of intubations.12345

Is the PINS Bundle for Infant Intubation generally safe for humans?

The PINS Bundle, also known as the Airway Safety Bundle, has been studied in various settings to improve the safety of tracheal intubations (placing a tube into the windpipe) in infants and children. Research shows that using this bundle can reduce adverse events (unwanted side effects) during intubation, suggesting it is generally safe when used properly.12567

What makes the PINS Bundle treatment unique for infant intubation safety?

The PINS Bundle is unique because it combines multiple evidence-based interventions into a structured checklist to improve the safety and quality of tracheal intubations in infants. It includes steps like risk assessment, planning, pre-procedure checks, and post-procedure reviews, which are designed to reduce adverse events during intubation.12578

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for infants who need a tracheal intubation procedure in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). It's not specified what conditions exclude an infant from participating, but typically those with certain health issues may not be eligible.

Inclusion Criteria

My infant needs a breathing tube in the NICU.

Exclusion Criteria

I have had an endotracheal tube exchange.

Findings from Research

The implementation of a tracheal intubation safety bundle across 15 pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) led to a significant reduction in adverse tracheal intubation-associated events, with a decrease from 17.5% at baseline to 13.7% after 24 months of sustained adherence.
The safety bundle, which included performance reporting and airway safety checklists, was associated with a sustained decrease in adverse events, demonstrating its effectiveness as a quality-improvement intervention in critical care settings.

A study involving 1715 children across 15 pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) identified risks associated with tracheal intubation and developed an Airway Bundle Checklist to enhance safety and quality during the procedure.
The checklist includes key components such as risk factor assessment, planning, a pre-procedure time-out, and a post-procedure huddle, which may help reduce adverse outcomes in pediatric airway management.

The systematic review and meta-analysis of 42,081 intubations across 83 institutions revealed a first-pass success (FPS) rate of 84.1% in emergency departments, indicating a high level of proficiency in airway management.
Common adverse events associated with endotracheal intubation included hypoxia (6.4%), hypotension (3.0%), and oesophageal intubation (3.5%), highlighting the importance of monitoring for these complications during the procedure.
