Abstract

Novel use of invasive pressure transducers for endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff pressure (CP) monitoring was first described by Doyle JD1 and later by Kim JB et al.2 With the continuing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, we have identified several practical uses and advantages of this method in this context.

Key words: Endotracheal cuff pressure, Invasive pressure transducer, Monitoring, SARS-CoV-2
