The Professional Experience of Anaesthesiologists in Proper Inflation of Laryngeal Mask and Endotracheal Tube Cuff

摘要

ObjectiveCuffs inflated to inappropriately high pressures cause ischemia, reducing tracheal mucosal blood flow, while cuffs inflated at lower pressure than necessary give rise to inadequate ventilation, aspiration of gastric contents, or extubation due to air leakage. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of the experience of anaesthesia staff on endotracheal tube and laryngeal mask airway cuff inflation.
