Fabrication and assessment of a bio-inspired synthetic tracheal tissue model for tracheal tube cuff leakage testing

Introduction: Leakage of orogastric secretions past the cuff of a tracheal tube is a contributory factor in ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current bench test methods specified in the International Standard for Anaesthetic and Respiratory Equipment (EN ISO 5361:2023) to test cuff leakage involve us...
