Additional Information for Tracheal Tube Cuff Pressure Regulator
Tracheal Tube Cuff Pressure Regulator is a medical device used in the management of patients who require intubation and mechanical ventilation. It is specifically designed to regulate and monitor the pressure inside the cuff of a tracheal tube.
The tracheal tube cuff is an inflatable balloon located at the distal end of the tracheal tube. When inflated, it creates a seal between the tube and the trachea, preventing air leakage and aspiration. However, excessive cuff pressure can cause complications such as tracheal mucosal damage, tracheal stenosis, and pressure ulcers.
The Tracheal Tube Cuff Pressure Regulator is used to maintain the appropriate pressure within the cuff. It consists of a pressure monitoring system and a regulating mechanism. The pressure monitoring system allows healthcare professionals to measure the cuff pressure accurately. The regulating mechanism enables them to adjust the pressure to the desired level.
By maintaining the optimal cuff pressure, the Tracheal Tube Cuff Pressure Regulator helps to minimize the risk of complications associated with intubation and mechanical ventilation. It ensures patient safety and comfort during the procedure.
Tracheal Tube Cuff Pressure Regulators are commonly used in various medical settings, including hospitals, intensive care units, and operating rooms. They are part of the supply class Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
