About this study

Endotracheal aspiration is a very useful procedure. It has several adverse events every time that aspiration is practiced. This trials wants to identify which protocol (necessity versus routine) could be better to practice in pediatrics intensive care unit with less risk.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Children older than 1 month until 14 years old requiring orotracheal intubation

Exclusion criteria

  • High frequency ventilation mode

Treatment and study plan

Necessity endotracheal suctioning

Procedure

Endotracheal suctioning depends on clinical manifestations

Routine Endotracheal Suctioning

Procedure

Endotracheal suctioning every two hours

Primary outcomes

  1. Primary Composite End Point

    Time frame: Every component for primary outcome can be assessed during or after suctioning is applied.For routine protocol, every 2 hours for necessity protocol will depend on patient´s necessity. The assessment was done in each patient during intubation period .

    All causes of morbidity. Clinically identified as hypoxaemia, unplanned extubation, cardiac arrythmias, cardiac arrest. Measured as any change in patient´s monitor identified for ancillary nurse and/or confirmed directly by pediatrician.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Mechanical Ventilation Length as Days.

    Time frame: Every day while patient really is intubated.

    Number of days under mechanical ventilation during ICU hospitalization length
