Automatic Continuous Control of Cuff Pressure and Subglottic Secretion Suction Used Together to Prevent Pneumonia in Ventilated Patients—A Retrospective and Prospective Cohort Study

The ventilator bundle consists of multiple methods to reduce ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) rates in Intensive Care Units (ICU). The aim of the study was to evaluate how the continuous automatic pressure control in tapered cuffs of endotracheal/tracheostomy tubes applied along with continuous...
