Easy and accurate measurement of endotracheal tube cuff pressure. Proper cuff pressure 20-30 cms of H2O Manometer provides pressure in cms of H2O On/off with automatic shut-off. This easy to use, compact, intuitive device is the smallest cuff inflator and pressure regulator available. It is suitable for use with all cuffed endotracheal tubes and tracheotomy tubes. - Up to 100 uses on a battery, non-replaceable - Automatic shut-off - Both FDA and CE approved - 10cc volume - Male luerlock fits standard one way valve on endotracheal tubes Endotracheal tube cuff pressure has typically never been monitored or measured in veterinary anesthesia. Most veterinarians and veterinary technicians are not aware of the suggested correct cuff pressure. Numerous studies in human hospitals have shown that over 60% of cuffs are over inflated with an average of 2-3 times the recommended guideline. Most clinicians go by a sense of feel or look at the one-way valve air pouch. Now they can choose the right product for this long overlooked, but important aspect of anesthesia.

Why measure? The guideline for correct cuff pressure is 20-30cm H2O. Pressure above 30cm H2O will exceed the surrounding tracheal blood supply pressure and constrict proper blood flow. Prolonged exposure to high pressure will cause post operative coughing and soreness. At pressure below 20cm H2O, the under inflated cuff will allow aspiration of oral fluids especially during a dental procedure. Simple to use: 1. Pull plunger back on syringe and fill with room air 2. Connect to endotracheal tube one-way valve. 3. Press yellow ‘on’ button 4. Slowly inflate cuff pressure to 20-30 cm H2O 5....
