Monitoring of oropharyngeal leak pressures using cuff manometer/cuff inflator device

Highlights • Oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) is used to access efficacy of supraglottic airway devices. • Aneroid manometer to measure OLP has accuracy of 0.5 cm H2 O. • Cuff manometer can be used to monitor OLP with accuracy of 1 cm H2 O. • Clinically, this difference of 0.5 cm H2 O in accuracy i...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) is used to access efficacy of supraglottic airway devices. • Aneroid manometer to measure OLP has accuracy of 0.5 cm H2 O. • Cuff manometer can be used to monitor OLP with accuracy of 1 cm H2 O. • Clinically, this difference of 0.5 cm H2 O in accuracy is not relevant. • One can monitor and adjust intracuff pressure and OLP with a single device.
