Introduction: Effective management of tracheal tube cuff pressure is a crucial aspect of airway management, particularly in critically ill patients undergoing mechanical ventilation after endotracheal intubation. This study aimed to compare two methods of tracheal tube cuff pressure measurement—utilizing instrumental (manometer) and conventional methods—in patients undergoing lumbar disc surgery in the prone position.
Methods: This prospective analytical descriptive study involved 60 patients undergoing lumbar disc surgery in the prone position. Tracheal tube cuff pressure was initially recorded in the supine position using both the conventional manual method and the manometric method. Following the prone positioning of the patient, the cuff pressure was immediately recorded and adjusted by manometry. Subsequent recordings were made every 15 minutes until the conclusion of the surgery, using only the manometric method. Data analysis employed descriptive statistics, including mean and percentage, as well as relevant statistical tests such as repeated measurement and ANOVA using SPSS version 16 software.
Results: Significant differences were observed in tracheal tube cuff pressure measurements between the two instrumental (manometer) and conventional methods in patients in the prone position (p<0.001). Tracheal tube cuff pressure, measured by both instrumental methods (manometer) and conventionally, exhibited significant differences at various time points (zero, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 90 minutes) concerning body mass index in prone position patients (p<0.05). Additionally, there was a significant difference in tracheal tube cuff pressure based on the duration of surgery (p<0.05), with the highest cuff pressure reported in patients with a surgical duration of 2 hours or more in the prone position.
Conclusion: The study results underscore that tracheal tube cuff pressure measured by the instrumental method (manometer) was consistently lower than that measured by the conventional method in patients placed in the prone position
