Colonization of Yankauer suction catheters with pathogenic organisms.
Oral suction devices may be fomites for nosocomial infections. This study was designed to evaluate the rate of contamination of Yankauer suction catheters. Among the 20 catheters tested, 16 (80%) yielded cultures for pathogens. Seven (35%) were colonized with multiple pathogens. Among the organisms encountered included methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant ...
متن کاملSelective placement of bronchial suction catheters in intubated neonates.
Flexible suction catheters were passed through the endotracheal tubes of infants undergoing mechanical ventilation, just before chest radiographic examination for clinical purposes. With the head straight, 7 of 10 straight catheters entered the right main bronchus but with the head turned, 17 of 20 straight catheters and 19 of 20 curved tip catheters entered the contralateral bronchus.
متن کاملEndovascular techniques for placement of long-term chemotherapy catheters.
PURPOSE To analyze the results from using endovascular techniques to place long-term chemotherapy catheters when advancing the catheter using the external jugular vein is difficult due to obstructions or kinking. METHODS Between July 1997 and August 2000, 320 long-term chemotherapy catheters were placed, and in 220 cases the external jugular vein was used as the primary venous approach. In 18...
متن کاملUse of suction catheters as an alternative to tracheal tubes in adults.
Patient No. 1 A 15-yr-old girl weighing 50 kg presented for direct laryngoscopy and excision of a laryngeal web. She had previously received multiple surgical and laser treatments for recurrent laryngeal polyps. Her presenting complaints were shortness of breath and inspiratory stridor after walking up a flight of stairs. At indirect laryngoscopy before operation, the ENT surgeons failed to see...
متن کاملMechanical ventilation with or without daily changes of in-line suction catheters.
The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and cost-effectiveness of not routinely changing in-line suction catheters for patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either no routine in-line suction catheter changes (n = 258) or in-line suction catheter changes every 24 h (n = 263). The main outcome measure was the incidence of ventilator-as...
