Ultrasonographic Confirmation of Endotracheal Tube Position in Neonates.
OBJECTIVE To compare endotracheal tube tip-to-carina distance obtained by ultrasonography vs. that obtained by chest X-ray in neonates. METHODS After endotracheal intubation of 40 neonates, chest X-ray and, within one hour, ultrasonography was obtained for each patient for measurement of endotracheal tube tip-to-carina distance. RESULTS Means of endotracheal tube tip-to-carina distances wer...

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 کاملEndotracheal Aspirate Microscopy, Cultures and Endotracheal Tube Tip Cultures for Early Prediction of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia in Neonates.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the utility of endotracheal aspirate microscopy, culture and endotracheal tube tip culture for early diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia in neonates. METHODS Inborn ventilated neonates were followed-up for ventilator-associated pneumonia using Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) criteria. Endotracheal aspirate microscopy, culture and endotracheal tub...
متن کاملThe Effect of Endotracheal Tube Suctioning Education of Nurses on Decreasing Pain in Premature Neonates
OBJECTIVE Endotracheal tube suctioning (ETS) is a painful and invasive procedure. Studies have shown that the performance of nurses in this procedure is weak, so we conducted a study to evaluate the effect of ETS education for nurses on neonates' pain in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). METHODS In a quasi-experimental study, performance of 25 nurses working in NICU was assessed before a...
