Tracheal tube biofilm removal through a novel closed-suctioning system: an experimental study.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Tracheal tube biofilm develops during mechanical ventilation. We compared a novel closed-suctioning system vs standard closed-suctioning system in the prevention of tracheal tube biofilm. METHODS Eighteen pigs, on mechanical ventilation for 76 h, with P. aeruginosa pneumonia were randomized to be tracheally suctioned via the KIMVENT* closed-suctioning system (control group) or a novel closed-suctioning system (treatment group), designed to remove tracheal tube biofilm through saline jets and an inflatable balloon. Upon autopsy, two tracheal tube hemi-sections were dissected for confocal and scanning electron microscopy. Biofilm area, maximal and minimal thickness were computed. Biofilm stage was assessed. RESULTS Sixteen animals were included in the final analysis. In the treatment and control group, the mean (sd) pulmonary burden was 3.34 (1.28) and 4.17 (1.09) log cfu gr(-1), respectively (P=0.18). Tracheal tube P. aeruginosa colonization was 5.6 (4.9-6.3) and 6.2 (5.6-6.9) cfu ml(-1) (median and interquartile range) in the treatment and control group, respectively (P=0.23). In the treatment group, median biofilm area was 3.65 (3.22-4.21) log10 μm2 compared with 4.49 (4.27-4.52) log10 μm2 in the control group (P=0.031). In the treatment and control groups, the maximal biofilm thickness was 48.3 (26.7-71.2) µm (median and interquartile range) and 88.8 (43.8-125.7) µm, respectively. The minimal thickness in the treatment and control group was 0.6 (0-4.0) µm and 23.7 (5.3-27.8) µm (P=0.040) (P=0.017). Earlier stages of biofilm development were found in the treatment group (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The novel CSS reduces biofilm accumulation within the tracheal tube. A clinical trial is required to confirm these findings and the impact on major outcomes.

Background : Disorder in diffusion of blood gases almost always is clue to collection of secretion in respiratory airways. So protecting the airway, correct suctioning to remove the secretion and maintenance of air way potency are necessary interventions in patient with end tracheal tube .

Background: Nowadays, due to an increase in patients require intensive care, application of mechanical ventilation and endotracheal tube is necessary. In order to Keeping an open airway, endotracheal suctioning is necessary. Select the appropriate suction method can reduce the severe complications. The aim of this study is comparing the efficacy of open and closed suctioning on heart disrhythmi...

Most intensive care patients require frequent tracheal toilet, a procedure usually performed by suctioning the tracheal tube. Such procedures often result in the production and dissemination of droplets. We measured the distance visible droplets disseminated during tracheal tube suctioning of patients in an adult surgical intensive care unit. Fifty consecutive suction procedures in 14 patients ...

BACKGROUND Although endotracheal suctioning induces alveolar derecruitment during mechanical ventilation, it is not clear whether repeated endotracheal suctioning exacerbates lung injuries. The present study aimed to determine whether repeated open endotracheal suctioning (OS) exacerbates lung injury compared to closed endotracheal suctioning (CS) during mechanical ventilation in an animal mode...
