Get ahead with VETAHEAD and join Dr. Laila Proença™ on 15 minutes of ZooMed (exotic animal medicine) content. Today, let's dive into a surprisingly neglected topic that affects the safety ofevery anesthetized patient—yes, even your ZooMed (exotics)! Are your endotracheal tube cleaning protocols backed by science or just a mishmash of tradition and guesswork?
Based on a real-world study using anesthetized dogs, we explore four popular cleaning protocols—water, detergent, chlorhexidine, and bleach—and the unexpected results that might just blow your mind (spoiler: water held its ground!). From bacterial growth to practical takeaways for everyday clinical settings, this episode is packed with valuable insights that could reshape how your team approaches tube hygiene. If you’ve ever reused an endotracheal tube or debated how to clean your V-gels, this one’s for you.
