Endotracheal tube cuff pressure: need for precise measurement.
CONTEXT High compliance endotracheal tubes cuffs are used to prevent gas leak and also pulmonary aspiration in mechanically ventilated patients. However, the use of the usual cuff inflation volumes may cause tracheal damage. OBJECTIVE We tested the hypothesis that endotracheal tube cuff pressures are routinely high (above 40 cmH2O) in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) or Intensive Care Uni...
متن کاملLinear Correlation of Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressure and Volume
OBJECTIVES Endotracheal tube cuff (ETTc) inflation by standard methods may result in excessive ETTc pressure. Previous studies have indicated that methods of cuff inflation most frequently used to inflate ETTcs include palpation of the tension in the pilot balloon or injection of a predetermined volume of air to inflate the pilot balloon. If a logarithmic relationship exists between ETTc volume...
متن کاملAutomated control of endotracheal tube cuff pressure during simulated flight.
BACKGROUND Successful mechanical ventilation requires that the airway be controlled by an endotracheal tube (ETT) with an inflatable cuff to seal the airway. Aeromedical evacuation represents a unique challenge in which to manage ETT cuffs. We evaluated three methods of automatic ETT cuff pressure adjustment during changes in altitude in an altitude chamber. METHODS Size 7.5 and 8.0 mm ETTs t...
متن کاملStudy of endotracheal tube cuff pressure and time of measurement among intensive care units patients
Introduction: The pressure in the endotracheal tube cuff must be kept within an optimal range, to make sure tracheal capillaries circulation still stable during positive ventilation. This is essential to avoid oral and gastric stuffing aspiration Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the endotracheal tube cuff pressure and time intervals measurements among intensive care units...
متن کاملAutomatic endotracheal tube cuff inflator and continuous pressure monitor/controller.
Endotracheal tube cuff pressure over 30 cm of water has been found to occur in about 50% of cases where cuff inflation was performed without monitoring, using pilot balloon palpation, minimal leak, or minimal occlusive volume techniques1. The incidence of post operative respiratory complications such as cough, sore throat, hoarseness, blood-streaked expectoration, and even tracheal stenosis is ...
