CRITICAL CARE Influence of the cuff pressure on the swallowing reflex in tracheostomized intensive care unit patients

چکیده
Editor’s key points † The recovery of the swallowing reflex is key to weaning from tracheostomy. † A cuffed tracheostomy tube anchors the tracheal to the anterior neck tissues and interferes with swallowing. † This study in intensive care patients demonstrated that the presence of a cuffed tube interferes with both the latency and magnitude of the swallowing reflex. † The effect increased with greater cuff pressures, especially above 25 cm H2O. Background. Because recovery of an efficient swallowing reflex is a determining factor for the recovery of airway protective reflexes, we have studied the influence of the tracheostomy tube cuff pressure (CP) on the swallowing reflex in tracheotomized patients.

Influence of the cuff pressure on the swallowing reflex in tracheostomized intensive care unit patients.
BACKGROUND Because recovery of an efficient swallowing reflex is a determining factor for the recovery of airway protective reflexes, we have studied the influence of the tracheostomy tube cuff pressure (CP) on the swallowing reflex in tracheotomized patients. METHODS Twelve conscious adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients who had been weaned from mechanical ventilation were studied. Simult...

Background & Aims: Control of the endotracheal tube cuff pressure and complications due to its incompatibility are one of the main challenges of care in most intensive care units. In this study, we investigated the effect of changing from supine to lateral decubitus position on the cuff pressure of intubated patients admitted to intensive care unit of Urmia Imam Hospital. Materials & Meth...
متن کاملStudy of endotracheal tube cuff pressure and time of measurement among intensive care units patients
Introduction: The pressure in the endotracheal tube cuff must be kept within an optimal range, to make sure tracheal capillaries circulation still stable during positive ventilation. This is essential to avoid oral and gastric stuffing aspiration Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the endotracheal tube cuff pressure and time intervals measurements among intensive care units...
