Accuracy of finger-tip palpated tracheostomy tube cuff pressure readings among otolaryngologists

Abstract: The tracheal mucosa is very a delicate structure, and pressure-ischaemia problems following the use of cuffed tracheostomy tubes are well documented. Iatrogenic tracheal stenosis is one of the consequences of mucosal ischaemia and is very difficult to treat. In this study the accuracy of finger-tip tested tracheostomy tube cuff inflation pressure, as judged by consultants and non-consultants, was assessed by comparison with manometric pressure readings. The estimated pressure readings from the consultant group… Show more

“…In this study comparing the results of the fingertip and those of the cuff manometer test, no correlation was found between cuff pressure readings and the professional experience of otolaryngol- ogists, and once again, the need for cuff pressure gauge was highlighted. It was suggested that the technique of pilot balloon palpation was unreliable after intubation (17). Colak et al (18) divided residents into 4 groups based on professional experience and reported that the rate of appropriate inflation was higher in residents having 2 years of experience, that a high pressure ratio was noted with those having 1 year of experience, and that the rate of low pressure-inflated balloons was higher with those having a 4 years of experience.…”

“…13 Ayrıca yoğun bakım hastalarıyla yapılan çalışmalarda, ETT/TT kaf basıncının bu hastaların çoğunda (%62) yük-sek olduğu saptanmıştır. 10,14 Özellikle anestezi esnasında azot gazı kullanılıyorsa,bu gaz ETT/TT kafı içerisine difüze olabildiği için basıncın yük-selmesine yolaçmaktadır. Bu nedenle kaf basıncı ameliyat esnasında periyodik ölçülmelidir.…”
