- Sainmhíniú mechanical ventilation that involves any instrument penetrating via the mouth (such as an endotracheal tube), nose, or the skin (such as a tracheostomy tube through a stoma, a surgically-created hole in the windpipe) to serve as an artificial airway Tagairt "COM-Terminology Coordination, based on:ResMed. Invasive ventilation (IV) (6.8.2020)"
- Nóta There are two tubes used for invasive mechanical ventilation: - Standard endotracheal tube (ET) – inserted via the nose or mouth, the standard ET provides a secure airway when the balloon on the cuff is inflated and sealed, and is mostly used in adult patients with acute respiratory failure; pediatric patients can benefit from uncuffed ET.- Tracheostomy tube – inserted via a stoma, a surgically-created opening in the trachea, the tracheostomy tube is used for patients who need long-term mechanical ventilation, and exists with cuffed and uncuffed options; cuffed tracheostomy tubes seals the airway to control mechanical ventilation, while deflated cuffs or cuffless tubes may be introduced when the patient is more stable.
