Valoración de un esfigmomanómetro aneroide de presión modificada para la insuflación del balón de neumatoponamiento del tubo endotraqueal en perros

Abstract

This paper entitled "Evaluation of a modified aneroid pressure sphygmomanometer for the insufflation of the endotracheal tube cuff balloon in dogs" was developed to conduct a study to determine the exact values for the injection of air into the endotracheal cuff balloon. This study was carried out at the facilities of the "Le Peluts" veterinary clinic. The endotracheal tube with low pressure and high volume cuff was developed with the help of a three-way key connecting one end of the key to the sphygmomanometer, the other end to the pilot balloon and the last key is connected to a syringe. The first method that was performed is the technique of digital-palpation where the amount of air that is sent to the endotracheal cuff balloon was not measured, the second technique was with the sphygmomanometer in which it was possible to measure the air pressure that was sent to the endotracheal cuff balloon and it is there where it is verified which of the two techniques is the most feasible to avoid pathologies that occur during and after intubation with the endotracheal tube. No physical changes were observed in the samples taken using the sphygmomanometer. In the second method, which is the digital-pressure technique, morphological changes were observed, that is to say, that there was irritation, superficial and deep ulcers in the patient.
