Tracheal size following tracheostomy with cuffed tracheostomy tubes: an experimental study.
In view of the severe damage caused by unyielding, low residual volume cuffs, various modifications to the cuff of an intratracheal tube have been introduced. The merits of two low-pressure cuffs were assessed in an experimental study in dogs; both cuffs produced little visible damage to the tracheal wall in dogs intubated continuously over a two-week period. A modified technique of producing t...
متن کاملTracheal T-Tube Stent for Laryngotracheal Stenosis: Ten Year Experience
Introduction: The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the outcome following stenting over a period of 10 years in patients with chronic laryngotracheal stenosis. Materials and Methods: Between 2000–2010, out of 111 patients with laryngotracheal trauma, 71 underwent tracheal T-stenting for laryngotracheal stenosis in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at the Governmen...
متن کاملA manometric study of the upper oesophagus in the dog following cuffed-tube tracheostomy.
Intraluminal oesophageal pressures were measured in dogs after tracheostomy and intubation with either uncuffed or cuffed tracheostomy tubes. Possible explanations for disordered swallowing following tracheostomy were found in those animals intubated with cuffed tracheostomy tubes: (a) Increased intraluminal pressures were measured in the oesophagus at the level of the cuffs. (b) Significantly ...
متن کاملThe Role of Tracheal Stenting As an Alternative Treatment in Cicatricial and Non-Operable Tracheal Stenosis
Introduction: Tracheal stenosis is normally caused by trauma, infection, benign and malignant tumors, prolonged intubation or tracheostomy. The best treatment for tracheal stenosis is resection and anastomosis of trachea. Yet the major surgical complication of tracheal surgery is postoperative stenosis. The goal of this paper is to study the result of tracheal stenting as a replacement therap...
متن کاملA low-volume, low-pressure tracheal tube cuff reduces pulmonary aspiration.
OBJECTIVE Leakage of fluid from the subglottic space to the lungs occurs along the longitudinal folds within the wall of an inflated high-volume, low-pressure (HVLP) cuff. The low-volume, low-pressure (LVLP) cuff does not have these folds yet allows for convenient and reliable control of tracheal wall pressure. Pulmonary aspiration during anesthesia has been linked with postoperative pneumonia ...
