Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The intervention group received noble metal alloy coated endotracheal tube used in patients admitted in the toxicology critical care, requiring mechanical ventilation, performed either by emergency doctors and critical care doctors.
endotracheal tube is a device used to protect airway in patients unable to maintain their vital signs.
the duration of intubation depends upon the general status (evaluated by research supervision), but the outcomes were evaluates after 5 days of intervention. there is no min or max duration of time for the alloy tube to stay in place

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 308314 0
The primary outcome was the ventilatory associated pneumonia appearance, assessed by the presence of pathogenic bacteria in the tracheal tube.
Timepoint [1] 308314 0
Assessment for ventilatory associated pneumonia was performed after 5 days of mechanical ventilation.
Primary outcome [2] 308315 0
we want to identity the spectrum of endotracheal microbiology using local cultures. this is an exploratory outcome.
Timepoint [2] 308315 0
Timepoint: after 5 days post enrollment.
Secondary outcome [1] 354601 0
secondary outcome: the presence of sepsis, using hemoculture.
Timepoint [1] 354601 0
secondary outcome was assess at 5 days after enrollment.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
The intubation was performed with numbered containers. each container had either normal endotracheal tube or noble metal alloy tube.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomisation using a randomisation table from a
statistic book
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
