Abstract:The development of mechanical ventilators that can en sure adequate respiration for long periods of time has led to the problem of determining how to best integrate patients into the machine's airflow circuits. Tracheal tubes with inflatable cuffs efficiently connect the patient to the machine, but the tubes may be placed in one of two ways. Each option has relative advantages and disad vantages. Translaryngeal intubation (TLI) can be per formed safety and quickly and is the preferred first step in airway mana… Show more
“…A retrospective review of cases in the USA found a mean of 58 days of mechanical ventilation for type A, and 26 days for type B (Colice 1987). Recovery of speech and the ability to swallow recurs relatively early.…”
