Table 1 The relationship between the presence or absence of post-operative airway stenosis symptoms and cuff pressure

From: Examination of the frequency of upward and downward fluctuations in the pressure obtained from the cuff pressure-time curve by continuous measurement of endotracheal tube cuff pressure during thyroid surgery: a case series

 

The number of times the cuff pressure became 30 cmH2O or higher (times)

The ratio to operation time the cuff pressure became 30 cmH2O or higher (%)

With airway stenosis symptoms (n = 5)

55 (32–92)

40 (16–80)

Without airway stenosis symptoms (n = 56)

48 (29–68)

40 (28–66)
