    Efficacy of Cuff Pressure Control in Patients With Endotracheal Tube
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) Aguilar Tafur, Sory Marianita; Socla Cadenas, Paulina Yaqueline; Gamarra Bustillos, Carlos
    Objective: Systematize and analyze the effectiveness of cuff pressure control in patients with an endotracheal tube. Methodology: Observational and retrospective systematic review, the search has been restricted to articles with full text, and the selected articles were subjected to a critical reading to identify their level of evidence. Results: In the final selection, 10 articles were chosen, we found that 30% (03) correspond to Iran, with 10% (01) we find the United States, France, Switzerland, Spain, India and Venezuela respectively. It has been studied that the majority of these were quasi-experimental studies, with 40%, mainly in the countries of Iran, India, Venezuela and Mexico. A Meta-analysis of France was found, with 10%, with 20% randomized clinical trials, mainly in the countries of the United States and Spain, likewise 20% we have experimental studies and 10% descriptive studies in Iran. Where of the total articles analyzed; 80% affirm that the use of a manometer to control cuff pressure in patients with an endotracheal tube is the most effective and the digital palpation technique is not a reliable measure to estimate pressure. Conclusions: It was evident in the reviewed research that the use of a manometer to control cuff pressure in patients with an endotracheal tube is the most effective and palpation is not a reliable measure to estimate the pressure, thereby reducing the risk. of tracheal mucosal lesions in patients treated in critical units.
