Table 2 Comparison between the above-cuff leak test and cuff leak test

Data are presented as median (interquartile) or median (± SD) for continuous variables, as appropriate, and as number (%) for categorical variables
Cuff leak volume (%) = 100 × (tidal volume with cuff inflated − tidal volume with cuff deflated) / tidal volume with cuff inflated
