Measurement of tracheal tube cuff pressure in critical care.

Vyas D, Inweregbu K, Pittard A

Department of Anaesthesia, Leeds General Infirmary, UK.

We conducted an observational study to measure tracheal tube cuff pressures in the critical care environment, where prolonged intubation is common. Thirty-two patients were studied. Sixty-two per cent of all tracheal cuffs had intracuff pressures above the recommended value. We also conducted a telephone survey of 24 intensive care units within the Northern and Yorkshire Region, which showed that 75% of the intensive care units never checked tracheal tube cuff pressures. Critically ill patients are particularly vulnerable to tracheal injury due to prolonged intubation. We suggest that cuff pressures should be measured regularly.

AIMS: To evaluate the performance of the Paediatric Risk of Mortality (PRISM) score in a population of UK children and to use this score to examine severity of illness adjusted mortality of critically ill children <16 years old in a defined geographical region. METHODS: Observational study of a defined population of critically ill children (<16 years old) admitted to hospitals in the South West Region between 1 December 1996 and 30 November 1998. RESULTS: Data were collected from 1148 eligible admissions. PRISM was found to perform acceptably in this population. There was no significant difference between the overall number of observed deaths and those predicted by PRISM. Admissions with mortality risk 30% or greater had significantly greater odds ratio for death in general intensive care units compared with the tertiary paediatric intensive care unit. CONCLUSIONS: Children with a high initial risk of mortality based on PRISM score were significantly more likely to survive in a tertiary paediatric intensive care unit than in general intensive care units in this region. However, there was no evidence from this study that admissions with lower mortality risk than 30% had significantly worse mortality in non-tertiary general units than in tertiary paediatric intensive care units.
