Palliation 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 کاملBacterial 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 کاملFoam cuffed tracheal tubes: clinical and laboratory assessment.
The efficiency of a foam cuffed tracheal tube has been studied in protecting the pulmonary tree from aspiration of oropharyngeal and gastric contents. Following instillation of methylene blue dye above the cuff, subsequent fibreoptic bronchoscopy revealed no instance of dye staining of the tracheal mucosa. A "bench" study was undertaken subsequently to estimate the likely pressure that the cuff...
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...
