E-T Tube Cuff Pressure Change After Changing Position From Neutral to Hyperextension of Neck

Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center50 enrolled

Overview

This study evaluates difference of the endotracheal tube cuff pressure between a tapered- versus a cylindrical- shaped cuff after changing from neutral to hyperextension of neck. Fifty patients undergoing thyroidectomy are randomly allocated into two groups (tapered- and cylindrical-shaped cuff). Endotracheal tube cuff pressure is initially set at 20 cmH20 in the supine neutral position and is measured after the change to the neck extension.
