Comparison between microcuff and wire-reinforced endotracheal tubes on postoperative complications in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: A randomised study
Microcuff ETT may offer advantages over wire-reinforced ETT during ACDF by potentially reducing the incidence of hoarseness, likely due to lower cuff pressure with preserved tracheal mucosal perfusion, and requiring less readjustment of the cuff after retractor application.
