Taper-shaped Cuff Endotracheal Tube Against Respiratory Infections — TETRIS

Postoperative Pneumonia Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effect of Endotracheal Tube With Taper-shaped Cuff on Incidence of Postoperative Pneumonia After Aortic Surgery

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The incidence of postoperative pneumonia after aortic surgery reaches 60%. In experimental lung model, endotracheal tube with taper-shaped cuff has been shown to decrease microaspiration. This effect has never been demonstrated in patients. The investigators hypothesize that use of endotracheal tube with taper-shaped cuff decreases the incidence of postoperative pneumonia in patients after aortic surgery.
