Pressure 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 کاملShiley Flexible Adult Tracheostomy Tubes vs. Shiley DCT and FEN Tracheostomy Tubes
Tracheostomy can influence the work of breathing by introducing additional resistance to airflow through the native airway. In a 1996 study, Hussey and Bishop determined that the presence of a deflated cuff in the airway significantly increased the work of breathing and theorized that a lower profile cuff would introduce less resistance to airflow. Hussey and Bishop also demonstrated that the p...
متن کاملTracheal size following tracheostomy with cuffed tracheostomy tubes: an experimental study.
In view of the severe damage caused by unyielding, low residual volume cuffs, various modifications to the cuff of an intratracheal tube have been introduced. The merits of two low-pressure cuffs were assessed in an experimental study in dogs; both cuffs produced little visible damage to the tracheal wall in dogs intubated continuously over a two-week period. A modified technique of producing t...
متن کاملMicrobiological evaluation of different reprocessing methods for cuffed and un-cuffed tracheostomy tubes in home-care and hospital setting
BACKGROUND Manufacturers' recommendations on cleaning of tracheostomy tubes focus on general warning information and non-specific manual cleaning procedures. The aim of this experimental study was to evaluate different reprocessing methods and to determine the mechanical integrity and functionality of tracheostomy tubes following reprocessing. METHODS Sixteen cuffed or un-cuffed tracheostomy ...
متن کاملThe use of cuffed tracheal tubes in paediatric patients: a survey of practice of anaesthetists in Ireland
Background Traditionally, non-cuffed tubes have been used for tracheal intubation of children under eleven years of age. The evidence is now strongly supportive of cuffed tubes in this population. Objectives We aimed to ascertain the patterns of tracheal tube usage in paediatric anaesthesia in Ireland. Materials and methods A self-structured questionnaire was distributed at anaesthesia conferen...
