posted on 07/27/2010
University of California, Irvine researchers have developed a novel vacuum system for providing optimized pressure to the trachea when the trachea is being suctioned.
Advantages
This new vacuum system would greatly reduce injuries to the trachea when the trachea is suctioned.
Detailed Description
During the removal of secretions from a patient’s trachea via suctioning, excessive pressure may damage the trachea. University of California, Irvine researchers have developed a novel vacuum system for providing optimized pressure to the trachea when the trachea is being suctioned.
