Bacterial Colonization in Tracheal Tubes of ICU Patients
Background and Objectives: Nosocomial infections are one of the most important worldwide health and increased patients hospital stay, therapeutic problem and mortality rate. This study was designed to determine the frequency of microorganisms isolated from tracheal tube in patients admitted to ICU Shaheed Mostafa Khomeini Hospital Tehran, Iran, from 2001-2005. Patients and Methods: In this ...
متن کاملThe effects of cuffed endotracheal tubes on the tracheal wall.
Direct tracheoscopy was employed to assess tracheal damage following prolonged intubation. Comparison of conventional and low-pressure cuffs showed that there was less trauma from the low-pressure cuff. Comparison of tube sizes showed a reduction in injury with 8-mm diameter tubes compared with larger ones. Knowledge of tracheal damage following prolonged endotracheal intubation has depended hi...

متن کاملPressure 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 کاملModelling the mechanical effects of tracheal tubes in normal subjects.
The addition of tracheal tubes to the respiratory system contributes an extra mechanical burden in terms of pressure necessary to overcome its own resistance. On the basis of experimental data from the literature and on a previously reported mathematical model of the inspirogram, we wished to study predictions of pressures, volume, flow and work of breathing during the use of tracheal tubes. Th...
