Airway Risk Management Systems

"Complications with endotracheal intubations have been shown to be endotracheal tube cuff pressure and endotracheal tube fixation related"

Introducing:
PRESSURE-CARETM Endotracheal Tube cuff Pressure Monitor-Controller-Pressure Limiter

Benefits:

• Automatic Monitoring of 20-30cwp safe range constant regulating of cuff pressures
• Automatically boosts and controls cuff pressures during peak flow cycles
• Auto regulating system maintains pressure above 20cwp to inhibit aspiration
• Auto pressure limiting regulates safe cuff pressure during Anesthesia. preventing pressure build ups caused by elevated N20 permeation into the cuff
• Prevents over inflation of the cuff usually gone unnoticed
• Minimizes over inflation lessens chance of tracheal damage or vomitus aspiration (1) (2) (on file)
• Completely non-metallic – MRI and CT friendly

IPI MEDICAL PRODUCTS (IPI) ANNOUNCES THE INTRODUCTION OF AIRWAY RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOCUSING ON LOGICALLY DESIGNED SOLUTIONS TO LESSEN THE INCIDENCE OF VENTILATOR ASSOCIATED PNEUMONIA (VAP).

Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is a common and serious complication associated with the placement of artificial airways for mechanical ventilation. Placement of an endotracheal tube (ETT) is a potentially lifesaving procedure and allows for delivery of gas from a mechanical ventilator. Unfortunately, it also provides a direct pathway for aspiration of colonized oral, nasal and gastric secretions via leakage around the ETT cuff. Maintaining cuff pressures of 20 to 30cwp, considered the safe range, is essential in lessening tracheal damage and aspiration. Prevention of cuff over inflation during anesthesia (especially N20) lessens tissue trauma or edema.

All nosocomial infections increase morbidity, mortality and avoidable costs in the Intensive Care Unit. VAP has become a multifaceted priority of the intensive care team. The incidence of VAP increases with the duration of mechanical ventilation and with it come longer ICU and overall hospital stays, higher mortality rates and additional hospital costs of $45,000 to $100,000 or more per case. There are new user-friendly, cost effective, clinically effective solutions available now!
