Lidocaine as an Endotracheal Tube (ETT) Cuff Media
Researchers will compare the effects of lidocaine versus air, as a way to fill the breathing tube cuff which is gently inflated to hold in place the trachea (airway) during surgery.

Endotracheal Tube Intracuff Pressure and Leak
We have devised a simple method to continuously measure the endotracheal tube cuff pressure (CP) using an invasive pressure monitoring setup (IPMS), which is used routinely in the operating room to monitor arterial or central…

Secretion Removal Above ETT Cuff
Evaluation of Above the Cuff Suctioning During General Anesthesia
The aim of this prospective, randomized, pilot study is compare ease of tracheal intubation, amount of microaspiration and efficacy of secretion removal using three FDA (Food and Drug Administration)-cleared endotracheal tubes…

Anesthesia Intubation Complication
Tracheal Palpation of Sliding Cuff to Assess Endotracheal Tube Location
Correct endotracheal tube (ETT) placement is important. Proper ETT position is achieved when the distal tip is in mid-trachea with the head in neutral alignment.

Respiratory Aspiration
The Influence of Endotracheal Tube Design on Fluid Leakage Into the Lungs During Surgery
Surgical patients have an endotracheal tube inserted into their windpipe to help them breathe while under general anesthesia. These tubes have a "cuff" on the outside that is inflated in the trachea to help prevent fluids from…
