Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison the effect of distilled water and normal saline instillation during endotracheal suctioning on hemodynamic parameters and ventilator associated pneumonia among patients under mechanical ventilation
Design
A parallel single blinded randomized controlled clinical trial
Settings and conduct
Selecting of 60 intubated patients admitted to the intensive care unit of Imam Jafar Sadegh Hospital affiliated to Alborz University of Medical Sciences, randomly, and instillation 3 to 5 cc of either distilled water or normal saline in the trachea before endotracheal suctioning for 5 continuous days by nurse in the intervention and control group, respectively, and after that, obtaining culture from trachea and send it to the laboratory to determine the ventilator-associated pneumonia by the laboratory staffs blinded to the allocation groups
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Negative culture of the trachea; Systolic blood pressure more than 90 mmHg; Normal level of electrolytes; Without cardiac arrhythmia; Urinary output more than 30 cc per hour; Without asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or lung infections. Exclusion criteria: With previous asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or lung infections.
Intervention groups
Intervention group: Instillation of 3 to 5 cc of distilled water (Samen company, Iran) in the trachea before endotracheal suctioning for 5 continuous days by nurse Control group: Instillation of 3 to 5 cc of normal saline (Samen company, Iran) in the trachea before endotracheal suctioning for 5 continuous days by nurse
Main outcome variables
Ventilator associated pneumonia; Hemodynamic parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and peripheral blood oxygen saturation (SpO2)

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Block balanced randomization method will be used. Randomization sequence will be generated by free website available from: www.randomization.com. In order to determine the randomization sequence in this website, 4 subjects in each block will be considered. Thus, by considering letter A for control group and letter B for intervention group, randomization sequence will be generated for 21 blocks. For random allocation concealment, cards containing blocks will be inserted in standard envelopes. In order to determine the allocation group, one envelope will be taken randomly by the researcher after shuffling.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
All cultures related to the patients will be sent to laboratory. However, laboratory staffs prepared the culture would not be aware of the allocation groups.
