[Role of closed aspiration systems in the prevention of lower respiratory tract infections during artificial ventilation].
Two large intensive care centers performed a prospective controlled, randomized study evaluating the efficiency of closed aspiration systems in the prevention of lower respiratory tract infections during sustained artificial ventilation. Analysis of the results of the study has ascertained that the closed aspiration systems make it possible to attenuate a colonization process and further lower respiratory tract infection, by statistically significantly reducing the risk of tracheobronchitis and pneumonia.
