Twelve infants and children with tracheostomies have been monitored for occlusion or accidental extubation in hospital and at home using a thermistor-electronic monitor. The patients ranged from 1 month to 6 years of age and have been monitored for 1 to 16 months. The device sounds an alarm when it fails to sense the warming of air on expiration. It is electrically safe, simple to operate and has been well accepted by parents. The thermistor-monitor has permitted the psychologic and economic advantages of earlier hospital discharge especially for the smaller infants. In two infants, and on three occasions in one, use of the device was life-saving. The device is applicable for use in patients of any age, with endotracheal or tracheostomy tubes.
使用热敏电阻电子监测器对12名有气管造口术的婴幼儿在医院和家中进行了堵塞或意外拔管监测。患者年龄从1个月至6岁不等，监测时间为1至16个月。当该设备未能感知呼气时空气变暖时会发出警报。它电气安全，操作简单，且受到了家长的广泛认可。热敏电阻监测器尤其为较小的婴儿带来了提前出院的心理和经济优势。在两名婴儿中，以及在一名婴儿的三次情况中，该设备起到了挽救生命的作用。该设备适用于任何年龄、使用气管内插管或气管造口管的患者。
