Pressure Course in the Tube Cuff During Swallowing
Completed
- Conditions
- AnesthesiaIntensive Care
- Registration Number
- NCT00862797
- Lead Sponsor
- University Hospital Freiburg
- Brief Summary
Leakage of fluid from the subglottic space to the lungs occurs along the longitudinal folds within the wall of endotracheal tube (ETT) cuffs. In this project the researchers investigate the possible effect of swallowing on the pressure course in the ETT cuff.
