Ventilator autocycling due to an endotracheal tube cuff leak.
Ventilator autocycling can occur with any ventilator if the sensitivity is improperly set or if a gas leak exists in the respiratory system which creates a negative change in proximal airway pressure.

To determine its postoperative use, the authors prospectively surveyed all patients in their institution's general orthopedic ward who had undergone elective spine surgery or total knee or hip arthroplasty during ...
متن کاملMicrobial 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 کاملA disadvantage of Velcro as an endotracheal tube anchor.
on use of a pneumothorax catheter fur treatment of pneumothorax as well as drainage of pleural effusions. In my own practice I have used this catheter quite frequently and have found results very similar to those in the study. As they suggested, I have found the catheter to be useful in draining malignant effusions and in completing successful chemical pleurod-esis. One problem with the cathete...
متن کاملThe Oropharyngeal Bacterial Colonization of Patients with Endotracheal Tube
Abstract Background and Objective: Bacterial colonization in upper respiratory airways is one of the major risk factors for the development of the ventilator–associated pneumonia (VAP), which is the most common and serious hospital-acquired infection in intensive care unit (ICU). The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of oropharyngeal microorganisms of patients with tracheal t...
