Tracheobronchomegaly: a rare cause of endotracheal tube cuff leak.
A 63-yr-old man (height, 173 cm) with a remote history of bronchiectasis and a double lung transplant was emergently intubated during a recent bout of bronchitis. An air leak was noted with positive-pressure ventilation through an 8.0-mm cuffed endotracheal tube until the cuff contained 12 ml air, with a cuff pressure of 22 cm H2O. This computed tomographic image shows the following: (A) the en...
متن کاملEndotracheal tube cuff leak with mysterious laryngotracheal pathology.
A 63 year-old obese man with gastroesophageal reflux disease, hiatal hernia, and no known history of airway pathology was to undergo a total knee arthroplasty. After intubation, however, repeated cuff leaks, decreasing tidal volumes, and desaturations prompted five additional endotracheal tube placements. Findings on radiography, computed tomography, and fiberoptic laryngoscopy and tracheoscopy...
متن کاملVentilator autocycling due to an endotracheal tube cuff leak.
Ventilator autocycling can occur with any ventilator if the sensitivity is improperly set or if a gas leak exists in the respiratory system which creates a negative change in proximal airway pressure. We report a case of ventilator autocycling in a paralyzed patient secondary to an endotracheal cuff leak which was misconstrued as assisted ventilation. We believe this is the first report of auto...
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 کاملComparison of a novel lycra endotracheal tube cuff to standard polyvinyl chloride cuff and polyurethane cuff for fluid leak prevention.
BACKGROUND A high-volume low-pressure endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff forms folds along its contact with the trachea, allowing mucus leakage into the lungs. We developed a thin-walled ETT cuff made of Lycra polyurethane. METHODS In vitro, we tested 6 of each of the new prototype Lycra cuff, the Mallinkrodt Hi-Lo ETT (polyvinyl chloride cuff), and the Kimberly-Clark Microcuff ETT (polyurethane cu...
