Introduction: Filling tracheal tube cuff (TTC) after intubation is necessary to provide a safe
airway in intubated patients. On the other hand, excessive increase or decrease in the …

Introduction: There is a correlation between endotracheal cuff pressure and airway
complication; therefore, cuff pressure measurement is of an essential importance. The gold …

BACKGROUND: High cuff pressure of tracheal tube (TT) may cause tracheal damage.
Maintaining an optimal cuff pressure is important in tracheal intubation. This study aimed to …

Background An improvised monitor was designed in a peripheral hospital to measure the
tracheal tube cuff pressures in patients intubated under anaesthesia. The aim of the study …

Background and objectives: Poor monitoring of tracheal tube cuff pressure may result in
patient complications. The objective method of using a manometer is recommended to keep …

Pilot balloon palpation is still a commonly used method to evaluate cuff pressure of the
endotracheal tube after intubation. This study determined whether the size of the tracheal …

Two methods can be used to assess the intra-cuff pressure of tracheostomy tubes: digital
palpation of the pilot balloon and use of a hand-held manometer. We conducted a telephone …

Background: Tracheal stenosis, which has received more emphasis recently, is a common
post intubation complication and may develop due to different reasons. One important …

Background and purpose: The cuff of tracheal tube is important and secures the airway
during anaesthesia. This study evaluates the effect of endotracheal tube cuff pressure after …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: At present despite of wide spread application of tracheal
tube with low-pressure cuff, complications of tracheal intubation have not disappeared. The …
