cuff pressure control device and cuff pressure control method

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent VAP (ventilator-associated pneumonia) caused by insufficient cuff pressure or the like of a cuff, and prevent VAP caused by wrinkles or the like formed in an outer circumferential surface of an unused cuff.;SOLUTION: A control part 111 controls a cuff pressure adjustment part 120 to put cuff pressure of the cuff 10 within a prescribed range based on a detection result by a cuff pressure detection part 113, and informs abnormality when the cuff pressure has not reached in the prescribed range within prescribed time. Immediately after installation of the cuff, the control part 111 detects inner pressure of the cuff by the cuff pressure detection part 113, and when the detected inner pressure of the cuff is less than first pressure that is smaller than proper pressure, it controls the cuff pressure adjusting part 120 to set the maximum pressure of the inner pressure of the cuff at second pressure that is greatly larger than the proper pressure.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT
