Comparison of Two Strategies for Endotracheal Tube Cuff Underinflation Prevention During Invasive Mechanical Ventilation
Sponsor: Nantes University Hospital
Summary
During invasive mechanical ventilation, maintaining endotracheal tube cuff pressure (Pcuff) around 25 cmH2O is recommended for sealing the upper airways. The continuous control of Pcuff with a simple mechanical device, the Tracoe Smart CuffmanagerTM, has never been assessed. The investigators hypothesize that the Tracoe Smart CuffmanagerTM would allow a reduction of the incidence of underinflation episodes, as compared with the intermittent strategy of Pcuff control.

Tracoe Smart CuffmanagerTM
In patients randomly assigned to the continuous adjustment strategy, in addition to standard care, the Tracoe Smart CuffmanagerTM will be connected to the tracheal cuff. Within the 2 days following the inclusion, all the intermittent Pcuff measurements will be collected as well as the incidence of Pcuff manual adjustments
