Although tracheal tubes are essential devices to control and protect airway in a critical care unit (CCU), they are not free from complications.
To document the incidence and nature of airway accidents in the CCU of a government teaching hospital in Eastern India.
Retrospective analysis of all airway accidents in a 5-bedded (medical and surgical) CCU. The number, types, timing, and severity of airway accidents were analyzed.
The total accident rate was 19 in 233 intubated and/or tracheostomized patients over 1657 tube days (TDs) during 3 years. Fourteen occurred in 232 endotracheally intubated patients over 1075 endotracheal tube (ETT) days, and five occurred in 44 tracheostomized patients over 580 tracheostomy TDs. Fifteen accidents were due to blocked tubes. Rest four were unplanned extubations (UEs), all being accidental extubations. All blockages occurred during night shifts and all UEs during day shifts. Five accidents were mild, the rest moderate. No major accident led to cardiorespiratory arrest or death. All blockages occurred after 7(th) day of intubation. The outcome of accidents were more favorable in tracheostomy group compared to ETT group (P = 0.001).
The prevalence of airway accidents was 8.2 accidents per 100 patients. Blockages were the most common accidents followed by UEs. Ten out of the 15 blockages and all 4 UEs were in endotracheally intubated patients. Tracheostomized patients had 5 blockages and no UEs.
尽管气管导管是重症监护病房(CCU)控制和保护气道的重要设备,但它们并非没有并发症。
记录印度东部一家政府教学医院CCU气道事故的发生率和性质。
对一个有5张床位(内科和外科)的CCU中的所有气道事故进行回顾性分析。分析气道事故的数量、类型、发生时间和严重程度。
在3年期间,233例插管和/或气管切开患者在1657个导管日(TDs)内共发生19起事故。14起发生在232例气管插管患者的1075个气管内导管(ETT)日,5起发生在44例气管切开患者的580个气管切开TDs。15起事故是由于导管堵塞。其余4起是意外拔管(UEs),均为意外脱管。所有堵塞均发生在夜班期间,所有UEs均发生在白班期间。5起事故为轻度,其余为中度。没有重大事故导致心肺骤停或死亡。所有堵塞均发生在插管后第7天之后。与ETT组相比,气管切开组事故的结局更有利(P = 0.001)。
气道事故的发生率为每100例患者8.2起。堵塞是最常见的事故,其次是UEs。15起堵塞中有10起以及所有4起UEs发生在气管插管患者中。气管切开患者有5起堵塞,没有UEs。
