  • Accidental Rupture of Balloon Tube during Endotracheal Intubation in Mechanical Ventilation: Clinical Application of No. 8 Blood Collection Needles for Connection

    ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of No. 8 blood collection needles in connecting broken balloon tubes. MethodsThirty-six patients who underwent mechanical ventilation in the Intensive Care Unit between January 2010 and December 2013 were included as the study subjects. We divided them into two groups. Patients who had accidental rupture of balloon tube during intubation were regarded as the trial group, while those with normal ventilation were regarded as the control group, with each group having 18 patients. The trial group used No. 8 disposable blood collection needles to connect the balloon tubes. Pressure gauge produced in Germany was used to measure the balloon pressure continuously for four hours. Balloon pressure level, balloon leakage and tube dislocation within 24 hours were observed. ResultsThe balloon pressure at different time periods was not significantly different between the two groups (P > 0.05). The leakage rate and complication rate were also not significantly different between the two groups (P > 0.05). ConclusionsUsing No. 8 blood collection needles for connecting broken balloon tubes is effective, easy, and convenient, and the balloon can be maintained at a constant pressure. It solved many previous clinical problems such as high cost, high complication rate, high death rate and medical disputes.
