Abstract
The use of cuffed tracheal tubes in children younger than 8 yr of age has recently increased, although cuff hyperinflation may cause tracheal mucosal damage. In this study, we sought to measure the cuff pressure (Pcuff) after initial free air inflation (iPcuff) and to follow its evolution throughoutKeywords
