Effects of lubrication on air-sealing performance of a pediatric cuffed tracheal tube

BMC Anesthesiology

Table 3 Leak airway pressure and leak cuff pressure in three different lubrication conditions

LAWP: leak airway pressure, defined as the lowest peak airway pressure at which air leakage was detected. LCP: leak cuff pressure, defined as the highest cuff pressure at which air leakage was detected. When leakage was not detected, the highest peak airway pressure or the lowest cuff pressure studied was defined as LAWP or LCP, respectively
The values are reported as median and (range). N = 5 for the experiments with ID 40 mm and N = 10 for those with ID 5.0 mm
