Closed tracheal suction systems versus open tracheal systems for mechanically ventilated adults. The comparison of open and closed suction systems shows them to have similar results in terms of safety and effectiveness. Tracheal secretions in mechanically ventilated patients are removed using a catheter via the endotracheal tube.
1 lip 2017 · Catheter suction is used to remove tracheal secretions through the endotracheal tube in mechanically ventilated patients, which may be either closed tracheal suction system (CTSS) or open one. In CTSS, the catheter is a part of ventilator circuit with no need to disconnect the ventilator.
Ventilator-associated events (VAEs) are one of the main sources of concern in critically ill patients due to the high frequency and mortality. We conducted this analysis to compare the effects of open endotracheal suctioning system with closed one ...
26 lis 2014 · Whether closed tracheal suctioning systems (CTSS) reduce the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) compared with open tracheal suctioning systems (OTSS) is inconclusive. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that compared CTSS and OTSS.
Identify two patient conditions where closed suction is preferred over open suction. Explain two key factors in the cost analysis of closed suction vs. open suction. Describe the limitations and advantages of open suction.
We have assessed the evidence that closed tracheal suction systems (TSS) prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), using a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We searched PubMed and Cochrane databases to identify RCTs that compared closed with open TSS for the management of mechanically ventilated (MV) patients.
Aim of the study: is to compare closed tracheal suction system with an open tracheal suction system in adult patients receiving mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours in terms of VAP incidence, length of stay in the intensive care unit and mortality.
