Endotracheal tube cuff pressure monitoring during neurosurgery - Manual vs. automatic method.

摘要: Background: Inflation and assessment of the endotracheal tube cuff pressure is often not appreciated as a critical aspect intubation. Appropriate pressure, intubation seals airway to prevent aspiration provides for positive-pressure ventilation without air leak. Materials Methods: Correlations between manual methods assessing by an experienced anesthesiologists with maintenance within normal range automated controller device were studied in 100 patients divided into two groups. In Group M, was inflated manually trained anesthesiologist checked its hourly monitor till end surgery. C, maintained at 25-cm H 2 O throughout surgeries. Repeated measure ANOVA applied. Results: results showed that average 50 taken seven different points significantly (F-value: 171.102, P-value: 0.000). Bonferroni correction test shows all six groups are from constant group (P = No case laryngomalacia, tracheomalacia, tracheal stenosis, tracheoesophageal fistula or pneumonitis observed. Conclusions: Endotracheal high when manually. The known complications can be avoided if used cannot relied upon keeping recommended levels.
