Endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff pressure in intubated patients Not Applicable
Conditions
Interventions
Patients were divided into the control group and test group, using a computerized random number generator by a trial statistician who had no clinical involvement in the project.
In th
while in the test group the disposable pressure transducer was used.
Measurements included the ETT cuff pressure level, the average air leakage of the cuff, the number of patients of

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| ETT cuff pressure measured by nursing staff in the ICU every four hours using the devices under investigation | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Air leakage of cuff (the difference between the pressure after the last cuff recharge and the next) measured every four hours 2.The number of ventilator leakage alarms measured by checking the alarm records on the ventilators every four hours 3. The number of patients with Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) whilst in hospital measured using data from the hospital infection management department 4. The compliance of bedside nurses to monitor and adjust ETT cuff pressure measured by analysis of daily bedside video | — |
