The purpose of this study was to compare the cuff pressure between cylindrical and TaperGuard endotracheal tube during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Sixty four participants were assigned to one of the two groups: cylindrical and TaperGuard endotracheal tube. At the supine position, cuff pressure of endotracheal tube was measured before and after abdominal insufflation in the supine position. After insufflation the head-up position (30°) was made and cuff pressure was recorded.
