Endotracheal tube holders and the prone position: a cause for concern.
To the Editor: We read with interest the paper by Fisher et al1 regarding the methods for securing endotracheal tubes. The authors should be congratulated for a carefully performed experiment in a model of the head and upper airway. We noted the increase in pressure exerted by the commercially available devices, which the authors reported as not clinically important. Although the authors used a...

cer cachexia, predisposing him to skin integrity issues (Fig. 3). Others have noted similar issues, and Jackson et al5 proposed specific padding of the head and face to reduce ulcers during prone positioning. Therapists should be cognizant of the potential for these types of facial ulcers (usually associated with mask ventilation), which have been identified by Medicare as avoidable complicatio...

متن کاملUse of ultrasonography in confirmation of endotracheal tube position
Methods This study was conducted on 100 patients who were admitted to Critical Care Medicine Department in Alexandria Main University Hospital with an indication of endotracheal tube placement. All patients were examined by ultrasonography “linear probe” after endotracheal tube insertion. Results were compared with capnometric readings (end tidal CO2). After confirmation of endotracheal tube po...
متن کاملEndotracheal tube biofilm translocation in the lateral Trendelenburg position
INTRODUCTION Laboratory studies demonstrated that the lateral Trendelenburg position (LTP) is superior to the semirecumbent position (SRP) in the prevention of ventilator-associated pulmonary infections. We assessed whether the LTP could also prevent pulmonary colonization and infections caused by an endotracheal tube (ETT) biofilm. METHODS Eighteen pigs were intubated with ETTs colonized by ...
