Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Our study will measure the pressure of the endotracheal tube cuff in intubated patients in the emergency department.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Although manometers are available for the purpose of measuring ETT intra-cuff pressures, they are not currently in use at our institution's Emergency Department. This prospective cohort study will endeavor to determine the incidence of unacceptably high ETT cuff pressures in the ED, laying the foundation for follow up studies on patient outcomes and the potential need for more careful management of intra-cuff pressures in the ED.
