Laryngeal mask airway and tracheal tube cuff pressures in children: are clinical endpoints valuable for guiding inflation?

abstract：:A laboratory study of a widely available heat and moisture exchanger marketed for paediatric use was undertaken. The deadspace, measured by volume displacement, was 12 ml, similar to that of a standard catheter mount for paediatric use. Pressure drop across the device was measured at several different flows in five sa...
