Abstract :
Background:
Inflation and assessment of the endotracheal tube cuff pressure is often not appreciated as a critical aspect of endotracheal intubation. Appropriate endotracheal tube cuff pressure, endotracheal intubation seals the airway to prevent
aspiration and provides for positive–pressure ventilation without air leak.
Conclusion:
We concluded that maintaining optimal cuff pressure with cuff inflator pressure gauge is effective in minimizing postoperative common airway complications. Additionally use of personal judgement of estimating ETTc pressure is not reliable it hence should be discouraged.
