Association between core body temperature and mean airway pressure with endotracheal cuff pressure in intubated patients of emergency department.

Background & Objective: Endotracheal intubation is routinely performed in the critical situations. In order to prevent microaspiration and tracheal injury endotracheal cuff pressure is important to remain constant between 20 and 30 cmHO. Positive pressure ventilation, duration of intubation, body temperature, and body movements can alter endotracheal cuff pressure.
