Placement and fixation of the endotracheal tube in trauma patients
Background To investigate the incidence of bronchial intubation in trauma patients intubated prehospital or in-hospital, in connection with receiving and treating of trauma patients at the Trauma Center at Aarhus University Hospital. To investigate whether the materials currently used for fixation of the tracheal tube ensures secure fixation of the tracheal tube. To investigate whether the meth...
متن کاملFirst thoracic vertebral body as reference for endotracheal tube placement.
After intubation in newborn infants, the placement of the endotracheal tube in the trachea must be checked by a chest radiograph. The most commonly used reference point for placement is the medial ends of the clavicles. The position of the clavicles may be variable. The present study was carried out to determine whether the body of the first thoracic vertebra should be used instead of the clavi...
متن کاملWhere's the tube? Evaluation of hand-held ultrasound in confirming endotracheal tube placement.
INTRODUCTION The diagnosis of endotracheal tube (ETT) mal-position may be delayed in extreme environments. Several methods are utilized to confirm proper ETT placement, but these methods can be unreliable or unavailable in certain settings. Thoracic sonography, previously utilized to detect pneumothoraces, has not been tested to assess ETT placement. HYPOTHESIS Thoracic sonography could corre...
متن کاملMicrobial colonization of endotracheal tube in intensive care unit patients
Microbial biofilms has remained a major complication of tracheal intubation in patients requiring ventilator equipment. The aim of this study was to characterize bacterial and fungal biofilms in endotracheal tubes from intensive care unit (ICU) patients in Ahwaz, Iran. In this cross-sectional descriptive study, patients admitted to ICU that required mechanical ventilation for at least 24 hours ...
متن کاملEndotracheal tube extubation force: adhesive tape versus endotracheal tube holder.
BACKGROUND Adhesive tape is commonly used to secure the endotracheal tube (ETT) in anesthesia and intensive-care settings. OBJECTIVE To determine the force required to extubate when the ETT is secured with adhesive tape or commercially available ETT holders. METHODS We orally intubated a simulation manikin with a standard 8.0-mm inner-diameter ETT, inflated the cuff to 20 cm H(2)O, and mea...
