Inflating the endotracheal tube cuff with saline to confirm correct depth using bedside ultrasonography.
Although bedside ultrasonography can accurately distinguish esophageal from tracheal intubation, it is not used to establish the correct depth of endotracheal tube insertion. As indirect sonographic markers of endotracheal tube insertion depth have proven unreliable, a method for visual verification of correct tube depth would be ideal. We describe the use of saline to inflate the endotracheal ...
متن کاملCase study involving suctioning of an electromyographic endotracheal tube.
The electromyographic endotracheal tube (EMG-ETT) is a relatively new tool used to measure integrity of the vocal cord structures during surgery. We describe a case in which an EMG-ETT was inserted for the operative period but not replaced with an ETT during the immediate postoperative period. Intensive care unit nurses had difficulty suctioning the EMG-ETT. The patient was not provided the pul...

15 صفحه اولEvaluation of a new thin-walled endotracheal tube for use in children.
Conventional endotracheal tubes have high intrinsic resistive properties due to their high outer-to-inner diameter ratio. This has significant disadvantages in the treatment of the small neonatal or pediatric patient as work of breathing increases with decreasing internal radius. Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including suctioning, may be very difficult in patients with small endotrache...
متن کاملThe ‘best Fit’ Endotracheal Tube in Children
Background: Uncuffed endotracheal tubes are still being recommended by most pediatric anesthetists at our Institutes. Different algorithms and formulae have been proposed to choose the best-fitting size of the tracheal tube. The most widely accepted is related to the age of the child [inner diameter [ID] in mm = (age in yr/4) +4; the second is a body, length-related formula (ID in mm = 2 + heig...
