Summary

The purpose of study is to determine effects of three different ET cuff pressure control on microaspiration of the stomach contents.

Detailed description

In the study, ET cuff pressure control will be provided with pilot balloon fingers (Control Group), intermittent with a manometer (Study Group 1) and continuously with a smart cuff manager (Study Group 2). To assess the effect of different ETT cuff pressure control on microaspiration of the stomach contents, the pepsin level will be measured during deep tracheal secretions. The samples will be examined in the first four hours after intubation, all secretions collected up to the 24th hour of intubation after first sample intake and all secretions collected between 24-48 hours after intubation. Pepsin level will be considered as positive for cut-off point. In addition, the effect of different ETT cuff pressures control on the incidence of VAP will be examined.
