The advantage of the prototype of the silicon laryngotracheal T-tube is the ovoid shape of the horizontal arm which makes it possible to treat more readily the upper and lower arm. Closure of the horizontal arm permits normal respiration and phonation. The smoothness of the tube wall prevents adherence of mucus and formation of crusts in the tube. The biological inertness and adequate consistency of the T-tube permit epithelialization of the supported areas of the larynx and trachea without formations of excessive granulation tissue. In the submitted paper the authors describe their experience with the use of the silicon T-tube of their own design in three patients with laryngeal stenosis and stenosis of the cervical portion of the trachea.</p>","PeriodicalId":75692,"journal":{"name":"Ceskoslovenska otolaryngologie","volume":"39 3","pages":"159-64"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13547430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore to assess the normal range of the maximum length of I-III and I-V intervals. Twenty-seven subjects aged 15-57 years, incl. 10 men, were examined. The stimuli were 100 us clicks, the repeating rate was 30/s, the stimulation intensity 0-85 dB nHL. The examination was made after administration of diazepam or rohypnol. TDH 49 earphones were used. Into the external auditory meatus on the examined side an electrode of the authors' own design in the shape of an open tube was introduced. The length of I-III and I-V intervals depended on the intensity of stimulation. The differences of mean values of the length intervals at stimulation intensities of 65 dB nHL and 45 dB nHL were statistically significant: p less than 0.02 for interval I-III and p less than 0.0001 for interval I-V. We take as the upper borderline of the normal length of intervals I-III approximately 2.8 ms and of intervals I-V 4.7 ms, if the latency of wave I is smaller than 2.5 ms. When the latency of wave I is greater, even longer I-III and I-V intervals may be still normal.</p>","PeriodicalId":75692,"journal":{"name":"Ceskoslovenska otolaryngologie","volume":"39 3","pages":"141-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13547427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
