Abstract

International evidence recommends different cuff pressure to use with patients with an artificial airway. In Chile, some health institutions have created internal protocols referencing this evidence. However, there is no national guidelines, thus different health professionals use different criteria to manage these patients. The present researched aimed at creating a valid and reliable questionnaire on the use and management of the cuff pressure in adult patients with an artificial airway for health professionals in Chile. A qualitative-quantitative, descriptive and longitudinal design was implemented. This process was divided in three phases. In phase A, a draft of the questionnaire was developed in English and then translated to Spanish by three native Spanish speakers. In phase B, ten Chilean, ten clinical experts in the management of users with artificial airway analysed the tool and recommended modifications of some of the questionnaire. After the modifications, the tool was validated through a Content Validity Index form. In phase C, thirty-three Chilean health professional voluntarily responded the questionnaire twice, with a period of thirty days between responses, to measure the reliability of the tool through ‘test-retest’. The questionnaire had a validity of .93, while 72.73% and 27.27% of the items had an excellent reliability and good reliability, respectively. This allows us to conclude that this questionnaire meets its objectives and will serve to know the techniques and pressure of the cuff that health professionals in Chile use for the management of adult patients with an artificial airway.
