Reevaluating 30 cmH2O endotracheal tube cuff pressure: risks of airway mucosal damage during prolonged mechanical ventilation
The currently established cuff pressure of 30 cmH<sub>2</sub>O is associated with airway mucosal damage in both clinical and animal models. Lowering the safety threshold of cuff pressure may be necessary to mitigate mucosal injury.
