Abstract

Aim Ventilator circuits consist of inspiratory and expiratory tubing and disposable humidifier / bacterial filtre. Today’s disposable humidifiers are both disposable and has bacterial filtre. In this study, we aimed to determine the time of the efficiency of these humidifier / bacterial filtre in avoiding the ventilator circuit bacterial contamination. Material and Methods 32 patients who were mechanically ventilated at least 48 hours were included in this study. Sterile inspiratory and expiratory tubing with humidifier/ bacteriel filtre used in ventilator circuit and specimens were obtained from the endotracheal tube side and ventilator side of the humidifier/bacterial filters, water-traps and expiratory tubing side of the ventilator filter at 48th, 72 hours. Results At 48th and 72 hour, bacterial colonizations were noted at the endotracheal tube side of the filtres and tracheal aspirate materials and no bacterial colonization were seen at the ventilator side of the humidifier/bacteriel filtres, water traps and at the expiratory tubing side of the ventilator filtres. Conclusions Humidifier/bacteriel filtres those efficiency has been shown 72 hours in avoiding the ventilator circuit bacterial contamination. We think that; with additional study results, routine humidifier/bacteriel filtres changes can be done 72 hours.

Özet

Amaç Mekanik ventilasyonda kullanılan ventilatör devrelerinde inspiratuar, ekspiratuar hortumlar, su tutucu, nemlendirici/bakteriyel filtre yer almaktadır. Günümüzde kullanılan nemlendirici/bakteriyel filtreler tek kullanımlıktır. Çalışmada; bakteriyel filtre özelliği de taşıyan nemlendiricilerin enfeksiyonu önleme açısından etkinlik süresini bulmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler Kliniğimizde çeşitli nedenlerle 48 saat ve üzerinde mekanik ventilasyon uygulanan 32 hasta çalışmaya alındı. Her hasta için, steril ventilatör devresi, tek kullanımlık nemlendirici/bakteri filtresi ve cihaz girişine bakteri filtresi kullanılarak, 48, 72. saatte trakeal aspirat, nemlendirici/bakteri filtresi entübasyon tüp tarafı, ventilatör devre tarafı, su tutucu ve ekspiratuar hortum ucundaki bakteriel filtre cihaz tarafından kültür alındı. Bulgular 48. ve 72 saatte kültür sonuçlarında trakeal aspirat ve nemlendirici/bakteriel filtre endotrakeal tüp tarafında üreme gözlenirken ventilatör tarafında, su tutucuda ve ekspiratuar hortum ventilatör girişi bakteriyel filtre kültüründe üreme tespit edilmedi. Sonuç Nemlendirici/bakteriyel filtrelerin bakteriyel kontaminasyondan korumadaki etkinliğinin 72 saate kadar sürdüğü belirlendi. Daha fazla sayıda çalışma destekleyici çalışma sonuçlarıyla nemlendirici/bakteriyel filtre değişim zamanının 72 saate kadar olabileceği görüşündeyiz.
