Description
The Continuous Aspiration of Subglottic Secretions (CASS) procedure uses
low level of vacuum applied either with a special endotracheal tube (ETT) or
with an adjunct to a standard endotracheal tube to provide suction during
mechanical ventilation. The vacuum removes the secretions that collect
above the cuff of the ETT that are known to increase the risk of ventilator
associated pneumonia (VAP).
