Negative tracheal pressure during neonatal endotracheal suctionNicholas J Kiraly
Neonatal Research, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute, Melbourne 3052, Australia
Pediatr Res 64:29-33. 2008..98-0.99). Negative tracheal pressure during in vitro ETT suction is directly proportional to applied pressure. This relationship is determined by ETT and catheter dimensions...

The effects of closed endotracheal suction on ventilation during conventional and high-frequency oscillatory ventilationNicholas J Kiraly
Neonatal Research, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute, Parkville, Victoria, Australia
Pediatr Res 66:400-4. 2009..We conclude that airway pressures and VT are not maintained during closed endotracheal suction with either CMV or HFOV, and choice of equipment and settings will affect the degree of interruption to ventilation...
