Transesophageal Echocardiography(TEE) Probe Insertion and Tracheal Cuff Pressure

Increase of Tracheal Cuff Pressure During Transesophageal Echocardiography Probe Insertion: Double-lumen Tube Versus Single-lumen Tube

Summary

Tracheal cuff overinflation is known to reduce tracheal mucosal blood flow and to increase tracheal morbidity. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probe insertion may increase the tracheal cuff pressure. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of TEE probe insertion on tracheal cuff pressure and to compare the effects in single-lumen tube and double-lumen tube.

Conditions

• Intubation, Intratracheal

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	balloon pressure adjustment	Tracheal cuff pressure was adjusted to 18 mmHg (25 cmH2O) before TEE probe insertion
