Endotracheal cuff pressure: role of tracheal size and cuff volume

Authors: PL Lichtenthal, UB Borg

Published in: Critical Care | Special Issue 1/2011

Excerpt

To resolve conflicting issues of volume/pressure relationships in endotracheal (ETT) cuffs, we examined this using an animal model. Sengupta and colleagues concluded that cuff volumes were fairly consistent despite varying tracheal and ETT sizes [1]. Hoffman and colleagues concluded that the volume/pressure relationships in ETT cuffs are linear and that additional air volume above that necessary to reach safe sealing pressure would not result in a precipitous increase in pressure [2]. …
