| Abstract |
|
A few postulated methods of regulating cuff pressure (filling anesthetic gas in the cuff, filling saline in the cuff, connecting cuff to a pressure regulating device) were compared each other after determining compliance curve of cuffs. Although there were no significant difference among slopes of linear regression curve of compliance curves of each condition, pressure range, standard deviation were most acceptable with the use of a pressure regulating device. |
