The 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...

We report the case of a patient with PSCD and symptomatic tracheal compression requiring surgical intervention. This was a 16-year-old male with direct chest injury presenting with pain in the right shoulder and cough forty-eight hours after the event. On physical examination, deformity of the ste...
متن کاملMethods for securing endotracheal tubes in newborn infants.
BACKGROUND Securing the endotracheal tube is a common procedure in the neonatal intensive care unit. Adequate fixation of the tube is essential to ensure effective ventilation of the infant whilst minimising potential complications secondary to the intervention. Methods used to secure the endotracheal tube often vary between units and sometimes even between healthcare providers in the same nurs...
متن کاملTracheal damage after endotracheal intubation: comparison of two types of endotracheal tubes.
Twenty-eight patients who required endotracheal intubation for open-heart surgery were randomly allocated to one of two types of endotracheal tube. The tracheal mucosa was examined with a fibreoptic bronchoscope at the time of extubation, usually 24 hours after operation. The degree of oedema, inflammation, and ulceration was scored by the bronchoscopist, who also photographed the whole length ...
