Impact of supra-cuff suction on ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention
Critically ill patients are intubated or tracheostomized because, in most cases, these individuals require invasive mechanical ventilation. The cannulae that are used include the cuff, which can act as a reservoir for oropharyngeal secretions, predisposing to ventilator-associated pneumonia. Studies have revealed that the suction of subglottic secretions through the dorsal suction lumen above t...
متن کاملIncidence of airway complications in patients using endotracheal tubes with continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions
BACKGROUND Continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions is effective in preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia, but it involves a risk of mucosal damage. The main objective of our study was to determine the incidence of airway complications related to continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions. METHODS In consecutive adult patients with continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions...
متن کاملClinical Epidemiology of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia in Open Heart Surgery Patients Admitted to Intensive Care Units in Sari Fatemeh Zahra Hospital, 2017-2019
Background and purpose: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the major factors of mortality and morbidity in Intensive care units (ICUS), especially in open-heart surgery patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate VAP in open-heart surgery patients admitted to the ICU in Sari Fatemeh Zahra Hospital, 2017-2019. Materials and methods: In this retrospective descriptive cros...
متن کاملReview: several interventions prevent ventilator associated pneumonia in critically ill patients.
Conclusions Semirecumbent positioning, stress ulcer prophylaxis (sucralfate rather than H2 antagonists), aspiration of subglottic secretions, selective digestive tract decontamination, and oscillating beds reduce ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) in select critically ill patients. No evidence currently supports specific methods of enteral feeding or increased frequency of ventilator circuit...
متن کاملSubglottic secretion aspiration in the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia: a review of the literature.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a common nosocomial infection that results in both negative patient outcomes and increased health care costs. Recently, many efforts have been targeted at ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention, including the practice of subglottic secretion aspiration. Six randomized control studies examining the effectiveness of subglottic secretion aspiration in the pre...
