This prospective observational cohort study was designed to assess the relationship between ETT cuff pressures and airway pressures in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery. We hypothesized that the ETT cuff pressures will rise in direct relationship to increases in the peak and mean airway pressures.
