Evaluation of pressure changes in a new design tracheal tube cuff, the Portex Soft Seal, during nitrous oxide anaesthesia.
We have measured pressure changes in a newly designed tracheal tube cuff, the Portex Soft Seal, during nitrous oxide anaesthesia compared with a Mallinckrodt Lo-Contour tube and a Portex Profile tube. The pressure increases in both control groups were significantly greater than those with the new design (P < 0.0001 in each case). The mean increase in pressure in the Mallinckrodt Lo-Contour tube...
متن کاملShape Analysis with Connectors
We extend off-the-shelf shape analyses with the ability to infer numeric relations between directly or indirectly connected heap cells. Specifically, we introduce the concept of connectors, an instrumentation that retains relations between heap cells even if these cells are merged into summary nodes. Managing connectors is based on applying generic fold and expand operations on a numeric abstra...
متن کاملTracheal tubes and connectors used in neonates--dimensions and resistance to breathing.
The dimensions of tracheal tubes and connectors in common use were measured together with the resistance to breathing at flow rates occurring in babies breathing quietly. The outside diameters of rubber tubes varied more than those of plastic tubes. The main factors influencing resistance were the internal diameter and a sudden change in diameter or direction of flow. These are of particular im...
متن کاملComponent Connectors with QoS Guarantees
Connectors have emerged as a powerful concept for composition and coordination of concurrent activities encapsulated as components and services. Compositional coordination models and languages serve as a means to formally specify and implement component and service connectors. They support largescale distributed applications by allowing construction of complex component connectors out of simple...
متن کاملAirway injury caused by a Portex single-use bougie.
To the Editor: The tracheal tube introducer (bougie) is widely used to facilitate difficult intubation. However, single-use introducers, compared to reusable ones, appear to be more traumatic [1-3]. A 61-year-old woman with esophageal reflux and no predictive signs of difficult intubation received rapidsequence induction with application of cricoid pressure. Direct laryngoscopy revealed a Corma...
