Effect of Head Position Change on Endotracheal Cuff Pressure in Mechanically Ventilated Patients: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

Background: Endotracheal cuff pressure may be affected by various factors and interventions. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of head position change on cuff pressure of the endotracheal tube whilst undergoing mechanical ventilation.

Materials And Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 61 intubated patients undergoing mechanical ventilation were studied.

The Changes of Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressure during Manual and Intermittent Controlling in Intensive Care Units.

Background: Usually, the endotracheal tube cuff pressure is controlled by cuff pressure monitoring. However, the intermittent pilot-manometer connection and disconnection may cause a change in the adjusted pressure. This study aimed to investigate changes in the endotracheal tube cuff pressure using both manual and intermittent controls.
