Endotracheal tube

The CT scanner Depends upon several steps:- 1-The x-ray tube and detector transverse (scan) the object. 2-The radiation beam passes through the object and is attenuated. The intensity of radiation beam from x- ray tube and transmitted beam both are detected by suitable detectors. 3-The transmitted beam and the references beam are both converted into electric signals. 4-These output current signals are then converted into digital form by analog –to-digital converter. 5-The digital data are…

Tracheostomy tubes are inserted into and incision in the windpipe to relieve an obstruction in the airway. Endotracheal tubes are used to intubate a patient during anesthesia or when there is maintenance of the airway (Types of intubation, n.d.). Tracheostomy tubes and endotracheal tubes are often used for the distribution for aerosol therapy. According to the Medical Dictionary, Aerosol deposition is the depositing or the retention of aerosol particles on a nearby surface within the respiratory…

pneumonia or VAP is correlated with bacteria flowing through the endotracheal tube, allowing a direct route to enter a person’s lungs. Studies suggest the principle risk-factor for the development VAP relies on the utilization of the endotracheal tube or ETT (Mietto MD et.al, 2013). Usually after 12 hours of intubation, bacteria that is specifically act as contaminated oropharyngeal secretions may often accumulate through the tube and subsequently leak down into the lower segments of the…

ventilated. Being on a ventilator for forty-eight hours or more can increase a patient’s risk of developing VAP (Andrews, 2014). The mechanical ventilation can be performed through either having a tracheotomy or an endotracheal tube (ETT) (Andrews, 2014). A tracheotomy or an endotracheal tube are basically an artificial airway for the patient to be connected to the ventilator to support…

mechanical ventilation. The failure to prescribe the correct type of antibiotic increases the mortality rates. Common risk factors known for VAP are back rest elevation, maintaining endotracheal tube cuff pressure, selection of endotracheal tube…

recognize risk factors and potential complications before sedation or anesthesia. When dental treatment is decided to be under GA. It is recommended to do radiologic evaluation of foramen magnum, preoxygenation before anesthesia, using appropriate endotracheal tube size, oral intubation and administration of…

in mind, the article I have at hand is focused on research in regards to those ABCs. In opening, the author compares the differences in artificial airway maintenance between the early days of her career, and the present day. She explains that endotracheal tubes used to use low-volume,…

apart from obstructive causes... Finally, the era starting in 1965 till the present period came as a period of rationalization. Complications, indications and interrelation with endotracheal intubation are clearly outlined(3). It started as just making an opening in the trachea to proper placement of metallic tube to plastic tubes. Otolaryngologists dominated the surgical scene in open surgical tracheostomy, then arrived the era of percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy and its subsequent…

Discussion Vascular access, along with airway management is a standard of emergency care, and is an essential part of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in many groups of patients. Peripheral vascular access is the most efficient means of gaining vascular access as it’s induces minimal trauma, is the safest method of gaining access to venous circulation. It may however be difficult in stressful situations and require several attempts despite its widespread usage failure may result in prehospital…

A bat wing on a x-ray refers to a pattern that shows bilateral perihilar shadowing or consolidation. This happens when pulmonary pressures are high normally and these shadows can be caused by pulmonary edema, pneumonia, inhalation injury or leukemia (Bell,2017). Kerley B lines on an X-ray are a horizontal line that is less than two centimeters long, normally are seen in the lower periphery and are parallel to other ones at the right angles of the pleura. Most frequently they are seen from the PA…
