Pressure Course in the Tube Cuff During Swallowing
Pressure Course in the Tube Cuff During Swallowing

Leakage of fluid from the subglottic space to the lungs occurs along the longitudinal folds within the wall of endotracheal tube (ETT) cuffs. In this project the researchers investigate the possible effect of swallowing on the pressure course in the ETT cuff.
