Achieving the Recommended Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressure: A Randomized Control Study Comparing Loss of Resistance Syringe to Pilot Balloon Palpation

Table 2

ETT cuff pressure estimation by the PBP and LOR methods.

Cuff pressure ranges, N (%)
Method	<20	20–30	31–40	>40	Mean (sd)	Proportion adjusted
PBP	8	20	18	43	51 (28.9)	51 (57.3)
LOR	11	59	18	1	27 (5.8)	12 (13.5)

All those <20 and >40 were adjusted by the manometer.
