La pregunta original del usuario era "¿Existe evidencia sobre si se reduce el riesgo de NAVM (neumonía asociada a ventilación mecánica) al aspirar secreciones por el tubo orotraqueal (TOT) usando el orificio de la nariz en lugar de desconectar el circuito exponiendo así más al paciente por vía aérea lal medio ambiente, además de aumentar el tiempo de apnea?"

El tubo orotraqueal (TOT) es el método de elección para aislar la vía aérea ya que la mantiene permeable de forma estable y existen pocos riesgos de dilatación gástrica, lo que disminuye por tanto el riesgo de broncoaspiración.

I've only found references for 'intubació', not 'incubació'.

If it should be 'intubació, then TOT = Tub orotraqueal
