Bacterial Colonization in Tracheal Tubes of ICU Patients
Background and Objectives: Nosocomial infections are one of the most important worldwide health and increased patients hospital stay, therapeutic problem and mortality rate. This study was designed to determine the frequency of microorganisms isolated from tracheal tube in patients admitted to ICU Shaheed Mostafa Khomeini Hospital Tehran, Iran, from 2001-2005. Patients and Methods: In this ...

متن کاملPalliation of malignant tracheal strictures using silicone T tubes.
The use of silicone T tubes for intubation of malignant tracheobronchial strictures may provide some degree of palliation of this distressing condition. It was used in seven patients with malignant lesions and two with benign strictures (resulting from tracheal trauma and lung transplantation). Four patients (two with cancer) are still alive and well with the tube in position. All patients note...
متن کاملModelling the mechanical effects of tracheal tubes in normal subjects.
The addition of tracheal tubes to the respiratory system contributes an extra mechanical burden in terms of pressure necessary to overcome its own resistance. On the basis of experimental data from the literature and on a previously reported mathematical model of the inspirogram, we wished to study predictions of pressures, volume, flow and work of breathing during the use of tracheal tubes. Th...
متن کاملThe effects of cuffed endotracheal tubes on the tracheal wall.
Direct tracheoscopy was employed to assess tracheal damage following prolonged intubation. Comparison of conventional and low-pressure cuffs showed that there was less trauma from the low-pressure cuff. Comparison of tube sizes showed a reduction in injury with 8-mm diameter tubes compared with larger ones. Knowledge of tracheal damage following prolonged endotracheal intubation has depended hi...
