Decrease in cuff pressure during the measurement procedure: an experimental study
BACKGROUND To prevent endotracheal tube (ETT)-related complications during mechanical ventilation, ETT cuff pressure should be kept within proper range. In clinical settings, cuff pressure often decreases from target values. METHODS We performed an experimental study to investigate the effects of measuring devices and endotracheal tubes on change in cuff pressure. We continuously measured cuf...
متن کاملPressure Infusion Cuff and Blood Warmer during Massive Transfusion: An Experimental Study About Hemolysis and Hypothermia
BACKGROUND Blood warmers were developed to reduce the risk of hypothermia associated with the infusion of cold blood products. During massive transfusion, these devices are used with compression sleeve, which induce a major stress to red blood cells. In this setting, the combination of blood warmer and compression sleeve could generate hemolysis and harm the patient. We conducted this study to ...
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...
متن کاملArm cuff in the measurement of blood pressure.
Selection of an arm cuff of the right size is necessary for accurate measurement of blood pressure (BP). Incorrect measurement can result either in unnecessary investigations, treatment, and follow-up for the mistaken diagnosis of hypertension, or no treatment for hypertension in individuals mistakenly thought to have normal BP. This is of particular importance in children, who have age-depende...
متن کاملThe rotator cuff muscles are activated at low levels during shoulder adduction: an experimental study.
QUESTION During isometric shoulder adduction in normal subjects, do the rotator cuff muscles activate more than other shoulder muscles? Are the activation patterns influenced by shoulder abduction angle or load? DESIGN A within-participant, repeated measures experimental study. PARTICIPANTS 15 healthy adults. INTERVENTION Participants performed an isometric adduction exercise at 30°, 60°,...
