Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia

    is pneumonia that occurs when an artificial airway is established and mechanically ventilated

    through study completion, an average of 10 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of draining duct blockage

    through study completion, an average of 10 months

Other Outcomes (2)

  • length of mechanical ventilation

    through study completion, an average of 10 months

  • The coincidence rate between pathogens of subglottic secretions and the lower respiratory tract

    through study completion, an average of 10 months

Study Arms (2)

Lavage combined with aspiration

EXPERIMENTAL

Intermittent subglottic secretions lavage combined with aspiration

Procedure: Subglottic secretion lavage combined with aspiration

Pure aspiration

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Intermittent subglottic secretions aspiration

Procedure: Subglottic secretion aspiration

Interventions

Ventilator-associated pneumonia preventive measures were applied to all patients according to VAP bundle. Subglottic secretion lavage combined with aspiration was performed every 4 hours: Underwent preoxygenation before cuff pressure checking, and was maintained between 30 and 35 cmH2O. After aspirating secretions from the mouth, nose, and airway, 2-5 mL distilled sterile water was instilled through the subglottic lumen, and then the negative pressure suction device is connected with the outer opening of the side cavity of endotracheal intubation for suction with a negative pressure of 100 mmHg, and each suction was kept under 15 seconds. Repeat lavage and aspiration until the irrigation fluid is clear. After washing, cuff pressure checking and was maintained between 25 and 30 cmH2O.
