“…7). The diameter of the balloon cuff should be compared with the tracheal caliber above and below the cuff; a ratio of cuff diameter to tracheal diameter greater than 1 50% has been found to be a predictor of tracheal damage [4]. formed on an elective basis in patients who require prolonged intubation [3].…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
