Study 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 کاملThe 24-hour pulse wave velocity, aortic augmentation index, and central blood pressure in normotensive volunteers
The purpose of this study was to examine the pulse wave velocity, aortic augmentation index corrected for heart rate 75 (AIx@75), and central systolic and diastolic blood pressure during 24-hour monitoring in normotensive volunteers. Overall, 467 subjects (206 men and 261 women) were recruited in this study. Participants were excluded from the study if they were less than 19 years of age, had b...
متن کاملBlood pressure and physical activity: time to move (on).
To the Editor: In their article, “Blood Pressure Circadian Pattern and Physical Exercise Assessment by Accelerometer and 7-Day Physical Activity Recall Scale,” Garcia-Ortiz et al. report that physical activity recorded as counts per minute with an accelerometer was associated with the dipper pattern in a cohort of healthy participants.1 This study merits several comments. The interest in the re...
متن کاملContinuous blood pressure measurement using the pulse transit time: Comparison to intra-arterial measurement.
Continuous blood pressure (BP) measurement allows the investigation of transient changes in BP and thus may give insights into mechanisms of BP control. We validated a continuous, non-invasive BP measurement based on the pulse transit time (PTT), i.e., BP(PTT), by comparing it with the intra-arterial BP (BP(i.a.)) measurement. Twelve subjects (five females and seven males) were included. BP(i.a...
متن کاملBlood pressure measurement: arm circumference and cuff size availability.
To avoid inaccurate blood pressure (BP) readings, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommends cuff width (CW) encircling 40% of the arm circumference (AC) and cuff length at least 80-100%. This study aimed to identify inpatients AC, the corresponding cuff size and the cuff size availability. In total, 81 AC were measured in the right arm. The cuff sizes to fit them were calculated according...
