How to avoid microaspiration? A key element for the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia in intubated ICU patients
Microaspiration of subglottic secretions through channels formed by folds in high volume-low pressure poly-vinyl chloride cuffs of endotracheal tubes is considered a significant pathogenic mechanism of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Therefore a series of prevention measures target the avoida...
