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 …

OBJECTIVE: Tracheal necrosis, stenosis, and rupture may result from overinflated
endotracheal tube cuffs (ETTcs). We sought to determine the ability of faculty emergency …

Numerous studies have reported unsafe endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff pressures (CP) in the
prehospital environment. The purpose of this study was to identify an optimal cuff inflation …

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 …

Objectives: Endotracheal tube cuff (ETTc) inflation by standard methods may result in
excessive ETTc pressure. Previous studies have indicated that methods of cuff inflation most …

Cuffed endotracheal tubes are one aspect of airway management designed to ensure
safety, yet patients can be at risk for injury from underinflated and overinflated endotracheal …

INTRODUCTION: Cuffed endotracheal tubes are used to prevent gas leak and also
pulmonary aspiration in ventilated patients. The pressure exerted on the tracheal wall is …

Background Tracheal mucosal blood flow is impaired when tracheal tube cuff pressure is
above 30 cm of water, with the potential for tracheal mucosal necrosis. Previous studies …

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 …

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Excessive pressure exerted on the tracheal mucosa is an avoidable
factor implicated as a cause of damage after intubation of the trachea with cuffed tubes …
