Evaluation of a closed-tracheal suction system
Critical Care Medicine, 1987A new tracheo-bronchial closed-suction system has been recently introduced. The Trach Care catheter can be connected to the endotracheal tube of a patient on mechanical ventilation and be left in place as long as 24 h. Thus, suctioning does not require disconnection from the mechanical ventilator.

Optimizing the Closed Suction Surgical Drainage System
Plastic Surgical Nursing, 2013Closed suction drains are indicated in a wide array of postoperative settings, with many distinct drainage systems available to the surgeon. The purpose of this study was to compare the suction gradients achieved using 2 different sizes of suction reservoirs and 2 different techniques for generating negative pressure.Drainage reservoirs of 100 and 400 ...

A rare complication of the closed tracheal suction system
The Journal of Pediatrics, 2004A premature female infant weighing 753 g was born by emergency caesarean delivery due to maternal chorioamnionitis at 26 weeks’ gestation. She received ventilatory support and surfactant. On day 6, after respiratory deterioration, she had a significant episode of oxygen desaturation and bradycardia.

The Closed Tracheal Suction System
Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing, 1994The Closed Tracheal Suction System (CTSS) is a multiple-use suction catheter available for suctioning the ventilator dependent patient. While research has been reported on its impact on oxygen desaturation, ventilator function, and nosocomial pneumonia, the practical issues of the technical design of the catheter and its advantage in decreasing ...

Survey of nursing practices with closed-system suctioning
American Journal of Critical Care, 2000BACKGROUND: The limited literature on closed-system suctioning suggests a need for further research in this area. Information is lacking about the frequency of use of the closed versus the open system of suctioning and about the current patterns of practice of closed-system suctioning among nurses.

Inline Closed-System Suctioning: A Research Analysis
Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing, 1994Numerous studies on closed-system suctioning have been conducted including projects evaluating hyperoxygenation, influence of airway pressures and ventilation mode, efficiency in secretion removal, and autocontamination. These authors critique past research projects and propose directions for nursing practice and future research.

Closed suction system versus open system
European Respiratory Journal, 2014Background:catheter suction are used to remove tracheal secretions through the endotracheal tube in mechanically ventilated patients, which may be either closed suction system (css) or open one. In css the catheter is a part of ventilator circuit and there is no need disconnect the ventilator and it seems that the css prevent soiling and spraying of ...

Closed Tracheal Suction Systems: Effectiveness and Nursing Implications
AACN Advanced Critical Care, 1990Closed tracheal suction systems (CTSS) are currently being used to minimize complications associated with endotracheal suctioning. Advantages of CTSS include improved oxygenation, decreased clinical signs of hypoxemia, maintenance of positive end-expiratory pressure, infection control, convenience, cost, and reduced patient anxiety.

Evaluation of a Closed-System, Directional-Tip Suction Catheter
Respiratory Care, 1992INTRODUCTION: It is difficult to successfully suction the left bronchial tree. We evaluated the success rate of left bronchial cannulation with a new closed-suction directional-tip catheter (Trach Care directional-tip catheter, TCDT, Ballard Medical Products, Midvale UT).

The use of closed-suction irrigation systems to manage spinal infections
Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, 2005Object.Management of infection in the hardware system—fixated spine has proven to be problematic. In many cases, instrumentation is required to provide stability or to maintain correction of deformity, and removal could be hazardous. The authors describe the use of closed continuous irrigation to treat spinal wound infections in patients with fixation ...
