Comparison of tracheal tube cuff inflation pressure among anesthesia team with different gradual level
Background & Objectives: Tracheal intubation is frequently performed in operating room. Over inflation of the endotracheal tube cuff is a risk factor for tracheal ischemia and subsequent complications. On the other hand inadequate cuff pressure increases the risk of aspiration of gastric contents. In this study, the endotracheal tube cuff pressure filled by the anesthesia team has been compared...
متن کاملDigital display of endotracheal tube cuff pressures made simple.
To the Editor:-There are many situations in which monitoring endotracheal tube cuff pressure is desirable. A number of devices have been developed to allow such monitoring. However, one may obtain a continuous digital display of endotracheal tube cuff pressure in the operating room (OR) or intensive care unit using readily available equipment. An ordinary (usually disposable) air-filled pressur...
متن کاملCuff overinflation and endotracheal tube obstruction: case report and experimental study
BACKGROUND Initiated by a clinical case of critical endotracheal tube (ETT) obstruction, we aimed to determine factors that potentially contribute to the development of endotracheal tube obstruction by its inflated cuff. Prehospital climate and storage conditions were simulated. METHODS Five different disposable ETTs (6.0, 7.0, and 8.0 mm inner diameter) were exposed to ambient outside temper...
متن کاملAchieving the Recommended Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressure: A Randomized Control Study Comparing Loss of Resistance Syringe to Pilot Balloon Palpation
Background Both under- and overinflation of endotracheal tube cuffs can result in significant harm to the patient. The optimal technique for establishing and maintaining safe cuff pressures (20-30 cmH2O) is the cuff pressure manometer, but this is not widely available, especially in resource-limited settings where its use is limited by cost of acquisition and maintenance. Therefore, anesthesia ...
متن کاملA comparison of endotracheal tube cuff pressures using estimation techniques and direct intracuff measurement.
Cuffed endotracheal tubes are one aspect of airway management designed to ensure safety, yet patients can be at risk for injury from underinflated and overinflated endotracheal cuffs. Tracheal pressures exceeding approximately 48 cm H2O impede capillary blood flow, potentially causing tracheal damage, and pressures below approximately 18 mm Hg may increase the risk of aspiration. There is no st...
