Core Tip

Core Tip: The proper cuff pressure of endotracheal tube is very important in a sealing airway and avoiding airway complication during mechanical ventilation. This was a clinical randomized clinical trial comparing cuff pressure between tapered and cylindrical cuff after head and neck extension during nasal endotracheal intubation. The cuff pressure and the extent of cephalad migration of tube tip was greater in TaperGuard endotracheal tube than in conventional endotracheal tube after head and neck extension, respectively.
