PINS Bundle for Infant Intubation Safety
(OPTION SAFE Trial)
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?
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
