Inadequate airway humidification can result in endotracheal tube occlusion. There is evidence that heat and moisture exchangers (HMEs) are more prone to endotracheal tube occlusion than heated humidifiers (HHs) that contain a heated wire circuit. We aimed to compare the incidence of endotracheal tube occlusion while introducing a new dual-heated wire circuit HH in place of an established hydrophobic...
Aim: To estimate the ability of simulated tracheal suction, adjusting the positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) settings on the ventilator or compressing a self‐inflating bag to minimize aspiration during cuff deflation and extubation in a bench‐top model.
Background: During intubation, colonized secretions accumulate in the subglottic space above the endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff. Consequently,...
