Popis: The purpose of this study was to compare the nitrous oxide-mediated increases in cuff pressure between a tracheal tube with a tapered cuff (Taper) or conventional high volume low pressure cuff (HVLP) utilizing a simulated pediatric lung model.The automated cuff pressures were adjusted to 10, 20, and 30 cmH2O. The Taper and HVLP were exposed to 80% nitrous oxide and cuff pressure was measured 15 and 30 minutes later.The cuff pressure of the Taper was significantly lower than that of the HVLP after 15 and 30 minutes, regardless of the initial pressure.These findings suggest that the Taper may be more effective than the HVLP in preventing hyperinflation of the tracheal tube cuff in response to nitrous oxide exposure in children.
