Comparison of three anaesthetic scavenging devices using cuffed and noncuffed nasal endotracheal tubes during dental anaesthesia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
During maxillofacial and oral surgery the effect of three anaesthetic scavenging devices used with cuffed and non-cuffed endotracheal tubes was investigated. All the devices produced reductions in nitrous oxide concentrations in the breathing zone and peripheral air, ranging from 36% to 76%. Of the three devices evaluated, the Stellenbosch valve produced the greatest reduction in pollution compared with the control.

Pathways through the nose for nasal intubation: a comparison of three endotracheal tubes.
BACKGROUND In nasotracheal intubation, there are two main pathways in the nostril through which the endotracheal tube may pass. The lower pathway lies along the floor of the nose underneath the inferior turbinate. The upper pathway lies above the inferior turbinate, just below the middle turbinate. The lower pathway may be considered to be the safer route as it is located away from the middle t...
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...
متن کاملProspective randomized controlled multi-centre trial of cuffed or uncuffed endotracheal tubes in small children.
BACKGROUND The use of cuffed tracheal tubes (TTs) in small children is still controversial. The aim of this study was to compare post-extubation morbidity and TT exchange rates when using cuffed vs uncuffed tubes in small children. METHODS Patients aged from birth to 5 yr requiring general anaesthesia with TT intubation were included in 24 European paediatric anaesthesia centres. Patients wer...
متن کاملPressure on the tracheal mucosa from cuffed tubes.
During cuffed intubation, damage to the trachea is least likely when the lateral wall pressure exerted by the cuff does not exceed the mean capillary perfusion pressure of the mucosa. A study was carried out of eight different types of endotracheal tubes. At the seal point the traditional red rubber tube and the armoured latex and Softway tubes exerted pressures above the mean systemic arterial...
متن کاملA review of cuffed vs uncuffed endotracheal tubes in children
Background The use of cuffed endotracheal tubes in paediatric patients is still a controversial topic. This paper aims to investigate whether cuffed or uncuffed tubes should be used in children under the age of 8 based on the literature that is currently available on this topic. Currently there are no guidelines on this topic. Methods The literature review has been taken in consideration Result...
