Microbial colonization of endotracheal tube in intensive care unit patients
Microbial biofilms has remained a major complication of tracheal intubation in patients requiring ventilator equipment. The aim of this study was to characterize bacterial and fungal biofilms in endotracheal tubes from intensive care unit (ICU) patients in Ahwaz, Iran. In this cross-sectional descriptive study, patients admitted to ICU that required mechanical ventilation for at least 24 hours ...
متن کاملUsing Ultrasound to Confirm Endotracheal Tube Position in the Intensive Care Unit
It is important to confirm proper placement of the endotracheal tube (ETT) as there is significant morbidity and mortality associated with inadvertent esophageal intubation [13]. Endotracheal intubation is a frequently performed procedure in an intensive care unit (ICU) and an intensivist has to be adept at performing intubation and confirming ETT position [4]. An ideal technique to confirm the...

متن کاملConfirming Endotracheal Tube (ETT) Position in Pediatric and Neonatology Using a Bedside Ultrasound (Us); an Emerging Tool
US have a promising alternative mean for quick confirmation of the ETT placement. However, small and few studies have shown that the sensitivity of this tool to accurately assess the ETT placement relative to chest XR or capnography is approximately 91-100%. The overall accuracy of this method is very interesting as it reaches 89-98% in some studies. An additional advantage of this method as su...
