The gold standard to evaluated cuff pressure is pressure gauge manometer. However, it may not be feasible or cost effective to have a pressure gauge manometer at every site. The method of inflated cuff pressure of endotracheal by subjective assessment techniques such as minimum occluding volume technique, or stethoscopy guide technique, were not known to reveal cuff pressure. cuffed endotracheal tube cuff pressure intracuff pressure minimum occluding volume technique Pediatric stethoscopy gu
