Gastric intramural pH in mechanically ventilated patients.
BACKGROUND The hypothesis that gastric intramural pH (pHi) is predictive of outcome in haemodynamically stable, mechanically ventilated patients was tested in 25 patients on assisted mechanical ventilation for respiratory failure. METHODS Simultaneous samples of arterial blood and gastric juice were obtained from patients on assist control, synchronised intermittent and pressure control venti...
متن کاملEffect of Acupressure on Gastric Content Aspiration in Mechanically Ventilated Patients Hospitalized in Intensive Care Units
Background and Objectives: Aspiration is a serious complication that occurs due to delayed gastric emptying in mechanically ventilated patients. Aspiration results in increased rate of pneumonia and death. Acupressure can increase gastric motility and prevent aspiration. This study aimed to determine the effect of acupressure on occurrence of gastric content aspiration in mechanically ventilate...
متن کاملExhaled breath condensate pH in mechanically ventilated patients.
OBJECTIVES In this prospective clinical trial we aimed to answer if spontaneous exhaled breath condensate (EBC) in the trap of the expiratory arm of the ventilator could replace EBC collected by coolant chamber standardized with Argon as an inert gas. Second, if EBC pH could predict ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) and mortality. PATIENTS We included 34 critically ill patients (males = 2...
متن کاملCisapride decreases gastric content aspiration in mechanically ventilated patients
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of the prokinetic agent cisapride in the prevention of aspiration of gastric contents. DESIGN: A prospective randomized two-period crossover study. SETTING: Fourteen-bed polyvalent intensive care unit in a University Hospital. PATIENTS: Eighteen intubated, mechanically ventilated patients who were seated in a semirecumbent position were studied. METHOD: Tc-99 ...
متن کاملBronchoscopy in Mechanically Ventilated Patients
The origins of bronchoscopy date back to 1897 when Gustav Killian, considered “the father of bronchoscopy”, performed the first airway examination with a rigid esophagoscope to a farmer extracting a piece of bone that had lodged in the main stem bronchus. Shigeto Ikeda in 1964 revolutionized the field of bronchoscopy with the introduction of a flexible instrument that could be introduced to sub...
