Tracheal airway pressure in tracheostomy tube capping trials: an experimental study
Abstract
BackgroundTracheostomy tube capping is a commonly used test to determine if the tracheostomy tube can be removed. The success of the capping trial depends on the patient’s ability to maintain sufficient spontaneous breathing with an occluded tracheostomy tube. The impact of an occluded tracheotomy tube on airway resistance is currently unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate tracheal pressure during capping or stoma button insertion …
