Continuous aspiration of subglottic

Continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia ... [Pg.216]

We suggest that CASS and oral intubation should be implemented whenever possible. Abbreviation. CASS = continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions. [Pg.65]

Figure 2 Example of an intubated patient with continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions as reported by Valles and coworkers (29). Removal of subglottic secretions decreases colonization of the trachea and the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia. This system has recently become available in the United States. Ideally, an endotracheal tube is preferred to a nasotracheal tube and placing the gastric tube through the mouth rather than the nose may reduce the risk of nosocomial sinusitis and pneumonia.
