Endotracheal tube cuff pressure in three hospitals, and the volume required to produce an appropriate cuff pressure

BACKGROUND: Cuff pressure in endotracheal (ET) tubes should be in the range of 20–30 cm H(2)O. We tested the hypothesis that the tube cuff is inadequately inflated when manometers are not used.
