Significance of a clean-tip catheter closed suctioning system in a high-setting ventilated, super morbidly obese patient with profuse respiratory secretions
INTRODUCTION Closed suctioning is commonly used in the context of high-setting mechanical ventilation (MV), given its ability to prevent lung volume loss that otherwise accompanies open suctioning. However, closed suctioning systems (CSS) are not equivalent regarding components and capabilities, and thus this technique may be differentially effective to adequately clear patient secretions from ...
متن کاملRespiratory Care of the Morbidly Obese Patient
Supported by an educational grant from Dale Medical Products Inc. Continued on page 4 R e c o v e r y S t r a t e g i e s f r o m t h e O R t o H o m e A pproximately two thirds of US adults are overweight or obese. Overweight may be defined as a body mass index (BMI) 25–29.9 kg/ m2, obesity >30 kg/m2 and morbid obesity refers to those with a BMI >40 kg/m2. BMI is not an ideal measure of body w...
متن کاملPercutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy in the Super-Morbidly Obese Patient
INTRODUCTION Obesity is reaching epidemic proportions in the United States, and as patients at the extremes of morbid obesity come under the care of surgeons, routine procedures may become increasingly complex in the face of greater body mass. We prospectively evaluated the success rate of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement in a group of morbidly obese patients outside the curr...
متن کاملIntubation with Airtraq™ laryngoscope in a morbidly obese patient
The Airtraq laryngoscope (AL) is a new disposable tracheal intubation device. The authors reported the case of a successful awake intubation with AL of the trachea in a morbidly obese patient. A 54-year-old female, morbidly obese (BMI 38 kg/m), patient was scheduled for a tumor removal of the right eye under general anesthesia. She had symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux. The preoperative airwa...
متن کاملRespiratory system mechanics in sedated, paralyzed, morbidly obese patients.
The effects of inspiratory flow and inflation volume on the mechanical properties of the respiratory system in eight sedated and paralyzed postoperative morbidly obese patients (aged 37.6 +/- 11.8 yr who had never smoked and had normal preoperative seated spirometry) were investigated by using the technique of rapid airway occlusion during constant-flow inflation. With the patients in the supin...
