Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Effect of subglottic air insufflation on subglottic pressure during swallowing.
To determine whether there are differences between subglottic pressure during swallowing with and without air insufflation via a subglottic catheter in tracheostomized patients. ⋯ In a group of tracheostomized patients, air insufflation via a subglottic catheter increased subglottic pressure levels measured during swallowing.
