Methods This audit includes 150 critical care providers having experience of handling
endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff at critical care area of National Institute of Cardiovascular …

Background: Improper inflation of endotracheal tube cuff is associated with various
complications. Recently, there has been high referral of patients with post-intubation …

We studied the application of a mobile terminal application program in endotracheal tube
(ETT) cuff pressure measurement to improve the implementation rate of scientific ETT cuff …

Background Mechanical ventilation is a lifesaving intervention for critically ill patients but can
produce the major complication of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Inappropriately …

Background: Maintaining the endotracheal tube cuff pressure within an optimal range is
challenging because many factors influence the pressure, as the patient's position, head …

Sažetak Introduction. Endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff pressure is not usually measured by
manometer and the providers rely on their estimation of cuff pressure by palpating the pilot …

Background Endotracheal tube cuff pressure must be maintained within a narrow
therapeutic range to prevent complications. Cuff pressure is measured and adjusted …

Aims To describe changes in the endotracheal tube cuff pressure over time through a
continuous monitoring device, and assess the number of nursing actions. Methods …

Objectives. We sought to determine the ability of paramedics to inflate endotracheal tube
cuffs within safe pressure limits as well as to estimate the pressure of previously inflated …

Background: It is recommended to maintain endotracheal tube cuff pressure within a range
of 20 to 30 cm H2O to prevent complications. Objective: To assess the ability of experienced …
