Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  MOV technique  In the MOV technique, cuff is slowly inflated with 2ml air followed by 0.5 ml increments until the air leakage sound disappeared. The audible air leakage sound will be identified with a stethoscope at the neck of the patient. When the air leakage sound disappears, the cuff pressure and the volume of air injected into the cuff will be recorded 
Comparator Agent  PVL-C technique  In the PVL-C technique, the cuff will be slowly inflated with 2ml air followed by 0.5 ml increments. When the Pressure Volume Loop curve is completed ie when the expiratory limb reaches zero volume and meets the starting point of inspiratory limb, inflation of cuff will be ceased and the cuff pressure and the volume of air injected into the cuff will be recorded

Brief Summary   The endotracheal tube (ETT) with a cuff is used in mechanically ventilated patients. ETT cuff sealing is nec­essary to ensure mechanical ventilation with adequate tid­al volume, to prevent accidental extubation and to prevent aspiration of orogastric contents into airway. A higher cuff pressure can result in complete airway sealing without air leakage; however, increased cuff pressure can contribute to tracheal injuries, decreased tracheal capillary perfusion Therefore, it is important to main­tain proper cuff pressure that guarantees airway sealing without overinflating the ETT cuff. The most routine way of inflating cuff is injection of fixed amount of air with a syringe. It is an easy, simple and inexpensive method but often leads to cuff distension and over pressure. Therefore, it is important we use a method which provides adequate occlusion and safest pressure. This study aimed to evaluate the difference in cuff pressure between the techniques used to inflate the ETT cuff.
