SUBGLOTTIC SECRETION REMOVAL:

A VAP REDUCTION STRATEGY

Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is a nosocomial pneumonia that develops more than 48 hours after endotracheal intubation.1 It is one of the most common infections acquired by adults

and children in intensive care units (ICUs) and is a cause of significant patient morbidity and mortality, increased utilization of healthcare resources and excess cost.2

During mechanical ventilation, secretions from the upper

respiratory tract accumulate above the endotracheal tube

cuff. Studies have shown that these secretions can seep past the cuff into the lower tract, increasing the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia.3 Drainage of the subglottic secretions has been demonstrated as an effective strategy in reducing early-onset VAP.4

THE CLINICAL CHALLENGE

The endotracheal tube chosen for initial intubation doesn’t always allow for easy access to this valuable practice—until now. That is why we created the Teleflex ISIS with an attachable suction line. The versatile design eliminates the need to be selective during initial intubation, increasing the number of patients who can be viable candidates for subglottic secretion suctioning, a clinically proven strategy for VAP reduction.2

HIGH VOLUME, LOW-PRESSURE CUFF• Effective seal at low pressures

• Design reduces pressure on the tracheal walls PILOT BALLOON

• Tactile feedback allows for a visual gauge of cuff inf lation

PLACEMENT RING • Provides a visual

depth indication to aid in proper tube placement

The unique convertible nature of the Teleflex ISIS frees clinicians from the uncertainty of choosing which tube is best for the patient at the time of intubation. Teleflex ISIS features an integrated suction port and separate suction line, allowing for subglottic secretion removal, on-demand. When needed, the suction tube attaches to the Teleflex ISIS via a secure locking connection. Both connection ports can be sealed upon disconnection, reducing the risk of exposure to patient secretions when not in use. This versatile design allows you to make the right choice, every time.

THE ISIS ADVANTAGE

• Convertible design

• Simplifies tube selection at initial intubation

• Use the suction line only when you need it

SUCTION LUMEN• Allows the removal of accumulated secretions

• Custom design reduces likelihood of mucus obstruction5

USAGE REFERENCE GUIDE

**Distance from distal TIP to distal edge of purple integrated suction port on the endotracheal tube

STEP 1*: ATTACHING THE SUCTION LINE

Open the tethered cap on the purple

integrated suction port on the Teleflex ISIS

Endotracheal Tube.

Attach the Teleflex ISIS Suction Line by

aligning the two tabs on the purple suction

port on the endotracheal tube with the two

grooves in the round suction attachment

connector (Fig. 1).

Turn the suction connector clockwise (Fig. 2)

until the connector locks into place (Fig. 3).

STEP 2*: PREPARE WALL SUCTION

Set the suction regulator to the minimum

suction pressure required to effectively

remove subglottic secretions.

Continuous Suction: Less than -20 mmHg

Intermittent Suction: Between -100 and

-150 mmHg for 10-15 seconds6.

STEP 3*: ATTACH THE SUCTION LINE AND TUBING

Once the appropriate suction pressure is set

for subglottic secretion suctioning, attach

the distal end of the Teleflex ISIS suction

connector to suction tubing (Fig. 4).

To decrease the risk of tracheal tissue

obstructing the suction lumen without

decreasing suction efficacy:

1. Stop suction when there is no mucus flow.

2. Briefly reverse the suction flow if you notice a sudden increase in suction at the proximal port, as this suggests occlusion7.

CLEARING BLOCKAGES*

If the suction lumen becomes blocked,

attach a syringe to the machine end

connector and apply a bolus of up to 5 cc of

air into the suction system as shown (Fig. 5).

MAINTAIN APPROPRIATE CUFF PRESSURE*

Use a cuff pressure manometer like the

EndoTest™ (Fig. 6) to routinely

monitor cuff pressures.
