“…A study conducted in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the cuff pressure was 32.5±1.2 cm H2O in air filled cuff (n=15) versus 18.2±1.2 cm H2O with solution filled cuff (n=15) after 30 minutes of endotracheal intubation. This difference was observed to be highly significant (p=0.000) 5 .…”

Background: Securing and maintaining airway and ventilating the patients by placement of endotracheal1tube is common practice in the operation1theater for delivery of general anesthesia and in the critical care settings. The primary role of endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff's primary role is to seal the airway, preventing leaks and pharyngeal contents aspiration into the trachea1during ventilation. Aim: To compare the mean cuff pressure in endotracheal1tube cuff filled with air vs saline in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. Study Design: Randomized control trail Place and Duration of Study: Department of Anesthesia, National Hospital, Lahore from 1st July 2016 to 31st December 2016. Methodology: One hundred patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled. They were divided into two groups and each group comprised equal number of patients. In group A, endotracheal tube was inserted with air filled cuff while in group B, endotracheal tube was inserted by using 0.9%saline solution. On follow-up outcome was noted. Results: The average age of the air filled cuff was 38.24±12.22 years and in saline filled cuff group was 39.68±13.79 years. Insignificant (p=0.269) difference statistically was found between the groups with cuff pressure at baseline of the patients and insignificant difference was noted at baseline. Conclusion: The mean cuff pressure in ETT was significantly less with saline than air filled cuff in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. Key words: General anesthesia, Endotracheal tube, Saline, Cuff pressure

“…The duration of previous intubation and the lack of anaesthesia are both linked to an increased risk of cuff under inflating 3 . In prolonged surgeries endotracheal tube cuff pressures >30cm H2O cause problems ranging from sore1throat to rare1cases of trachea esophageal fistula 4,5 .…”

“…Poster abstracts are presented from the SPA conference in this issue of AJP, and can be categorised into themes addressing clinical, research and professional identity topics. In the clinical category, posters addressed topics such as hand dominance in external chest compressions (7), aeromedical aspects of paramedicine (8,9) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (10) and inferoposterolateral myocardial infarction (11). In the research category, posters presented topics such as introducing student to research (12), identifying student attitudes toward research (13) and investigating how to get students involved in research (14).…”

Developing a research culture in paramedic practice

As paramedic practice in Australasia transitions toward professional registration, it is timely to examine the importance of developing a research culture within the profession. The benefits of a research culture may include improving patient care, and increasing in the paramedic professional image (1). Challenges possibly include the perception that performing research may be difficult in a time-critical environment (1) and the ambulance service culture, under a vocational in-house education and training model, may traditionally not have sought out new research opportunities or encouraged paramedics to undertake research studies.The 'academisation' of the paramedic profession has subsequently resulted in a greater emphasis being placed in research. For example, the Council of Ambulance Authorities has created a research forum which facilitates research into ambulance operations and clinical practice (2). Furthermore, there are scholarships and incentive schemes offered by most Australasian ambulance services to encourage paramedics to engage in research.
