Comparing the Effects of Volume-Time Curve and Stethoscope Methods in Tube Cuff Inflation on Frequency of Atelectasis Following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery

Comparing the Effects of Volume-Time Curve and Stethoscope Methods in Tube Cuff Inflation on Frequency of Atelectasis Following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery

Background and purpose: Inappropriate pressure of the endotracheal cuff causes aspiration of oral secretions in airway resulting in atelectasis. This study aimed at comparing the effects of two methods of filling the endotracheal cuff on the frequency of atelectasis in patients following coronary ar...
