AbstractExpectoration of bacterially contaminated mucus during bronchial toilet of artificially ventilated patients can be controlled avoiding heavy contamination of intensive care staff, patients and surroundings. By the use of the Bronchial-Secretions-Guard in combination with the H.R.P.-System 2000, the problems of optimal liquidity of bronchial mucus thus avoiding rinsing with saline as well as "bagging" without further devices are solved in regard to bacteriology and hygiene. By the use of this setup a reduction of hospital infections in adult patients of the intensive care unit can be expected in a similar way as reported in a early study on premature and newborn babies ventilated only by the H.R.P.-System 2000.
