Abstract

To compare the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) using an endotracheal tube with a polyurethane cuff, designed to reduce channel formation, and subglottic secretion drainage (ETT-PUC-SSD) versus an conventional endotracheal tube (ETT-C) with a polyvinyl cuff and without subglottic secretion drainage.
