Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on cuff pressure (CP) variations in tracheostomized patients who are not on mechanical ventilation, which is an area that has been under-researched.
- An experimental setup tested the performance of pressure gauges on different tracheostomy tubes, while a clinical setup measured CP variations over 6 days in 35 stable patients.
- Findings revealed significant differences in cuff pressures across tube brands and types, with a notable variability in measurements, indicating that more frequent monitoring of CP in these patients is necessary.
