Describe how both lumens on the ETC can be used to provide ventilation.
What will be an ideal response?
There are two cuffs on the ETC, a proximal latex pharyngeal cuff (100 ml) and a PVC cuff (15 ml) near the distal end of the tube. Both lumens on the ETC can be used to provide ventilation. Lumen 1 is used when the tube enters the esophagus and the distal cuff seals off the esophagus. Lumen 2 is used when it is in the trachea and the proximal cuff seals off the trachea.

If the hospital can identify only one core measure set related to its patient population, it must collect data on all the applicable measures in that core measure set, along with nine non-core measures B. In the event that the hospital cannot identify six sets of measures from the current complement of core measure sets, then the hospital must make its best effort to select all those measure sets that address the patient populations served and services provided by the hospital in order to meet ORYX performance measure reporting requirements C. If the hospital serves patient populations with conditions that correspond with only two core measure sets, the hospital must collect data on all of the applicable measures in the two core measure sets, along with six non-core measures
