A comparative analysis of elevated endotracheal tube cuff pressure incidence in laparoscopic abdominal surgery: saline versus air inflation
Inflating ETT cuffs with saline instead of air during laparoscopic abdominal surgeries led to a reduced requirement for interventions in maintaining pressure. This indicates that the use of saline inflation may significantly lower the risk of high cuff pressure and related complications.
