Controle da pressão do cuff na unidade terapia intensiva: efeitos do treinamento INTRODUCTION Given the growing relevance of specialized physiotherapists in intensive care units (ICUs), these professionals are progressively required to have appropriate knowledge to supply these units needs. (1) The intensive care team should understand the specific pulmonary care required for each individual patient, and work as a team to establish realistic targets. (2) Invasive ventilation patients, with impaired respiratory function, are common in ICUs (3) and this therapy is mainly aimed to keep appropriate pulmonary ventilation (3-5) using either an artificial tracheal prosthesis (more commonly endotracheal tubes) or tracheostomy cannulas. (4) These prosthesis have a distal small balloon, also called cuff, aimed to seal the airways in order to prevent air leakage to keep appropriate ventilation (4) and to reduce aspiration likelihood.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
