Pilot balloon malfunction caused by endotracheal tube bite blocker.
A patient’s bite is a frequent cause of endotracheal tube (ETT) obstruction, which affects the volume and pressure delivered by the ventilator. Bite-related ETT obstruction is a frequent cause of ventilator alarm activation, and can cause respiratory failure, negative-pressure pulmonary edema, and ETT tube/pilot tube damage. Clinicians formerly used objects (syringes, tongue depressors, gauze) ...
متن کاملCapillary tube wetting induced by particles: towards armoured bubbles tailoring.
In this paper, we report on the strongly modified dynamics of a liquid finger pushed inside a capillary tube, when partially wettable particles are lying on the walls. Particles promote the appearance of new regimes and enable the tailored synthesis of bubbles encapsulated in a monolayer of particles (so-called "armoured bubbles"). This remarkable behavior arises due to the collection of partic...
متن کاملEndotracheal tube extubation force: adhesive tape versus endotracheal tube holder.
BACKGROUND Adhesive tape is commonly used to secure the endotracheal tube (ETT) in anesthesia and intensive-care settings. OBJECTIVE To determine the force required to extubate when the ETT is secured with adhesive tape or commercially available ETT holders. METHODS We orally intubated a simulation manikin with a standard 8.0-mm inner-diameter ETT, inflated the cuff to 20 cm H(2)O, and mea...
متن کاملPartial airway obstruction caused by dissection of a reinforced endotracheal tube.
EDITOR: Ventilatory problems during surgery in the prone position may be a serious complication [1]. We report an incident where there was dissection of a reinforced endotracheal tube that led to its partial obstruction. This case shows an unexpected complication from reusing products intended for single use. A 62-yr-old female (weight 68 kg) who was scheduled for total laminectomy with posteri...
متن کاملBest Method for Securing an Endotracheal Tube.
CEN, CFRN, CPEN, and Tom Pietrantonio, BSRT, RRT-RCP, reply: In a study published in Respiratory Care, Shimizu et al3 concluded that the conventional adhesive tape methods had greater extubation force than the 2 endotracheal tube holders and that extubation force varies considerably depending on the width, length, and type of adhesive tape used. Mohammed and Hassan4 studied endotracheal tube sl...
