Description:
The TaperGuardEvac oral tracheal tube is intended for airway management in critically ill patients needing mechanical ventilation. Two randomised controlled trials comparing the use of TaperGuardEvac with conventional tubes found no statistically significant differences between the groups in the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia, time to onset of ventilator-associated pneumonia, or length of intensive care unit stay. Using TaperGuardEvac costs £111.07 (for a box of 10single-use tubes), plus a variety of accessories.
