摘要: Objectives. We sought to determine the ability of paramedics inflate endotracheal tube cuffs within safe pressure limits as well estimate previously inflated by palpation pilot balloon. Methods. Using a tracheal simulation model, we conducted prospective, observational, cross-sectional study licensed, practicing paramedics. This included evaluation their cuff an pressure, defined ≤ 25 cm H2O, identify excessive intracuff in ETT Results. Fifty-three were sampled. The average generated inflating was > 108 H2O. Participants only 13% sensitive detecting over (95% CI 7.3–17.8). Conclusions. unable pressures andwere tub...
