Zusammenfassung: | Objectives: To measure airway pressures during closed system suctioning with the ventilator set to three differing modes of ventilation. Methods: Closed system suctioning was conducted in 16 patients following cardiac surgery. Suctioning was performed using a 14 French catheter with a vacuum level of -500 cmH2O through an 8.0 mm internal diameter endotracheal tube. The lungs were mechanically ventilated with a Servo 300 ventilator set to one of three ventilation modes: volume-control, pressure-control or CPAP/pressure support. Airway pressures were measured via a 4 French electronic pressure transducer in both proximal and distal airways. Results: Following insertion of the suction catheter, end-expiratory pressure increased significantly (p |
