Stoma is a bit small / stricture?

BodoniMember

My stoma is a bit too small and is sore when intubating.

Anyone here ever use a baby pacifier and tape it in place between

intubations?

Thanks, Bodoni

Please review the post about small stoma just before yours. I suggest the same answer for your problem.

Bodoni,

What I found that worked really well (but you need to be Mcgiver here) is to use the tip of those 60cc syringes...they come with a tip cover...it is the perfect size but could be dangerous if pushed all the way in so I melt the open end over a flam or boil it and then slowly press it down until it turns into a puddled hard base large and smooth enough to not hurt me...the tip goes into the stoma, the base sits outside and I tape it down...

I have all different kinds & sizes of pacifyers too and a collection of junk acumulated over the years that works on different occasions (shrunk stoma, sunk stoma, granulation...)

Good luck
