Joseph D. Tobias400 enrolled

Overview

Over the past 5 years, there has been a change in clinical practice with the use of cuffed instead of uncuffed endotracheal tubes in infants and children. Two manufacturing companies have recently introduced syringe-like devices to the market which allow the measurement of the intracuff pressure. This study proposes to prospectively compare the intracuff pressure from these devices with the gold standard technique (manometer).
