Abstract:AimThe commonly recommended endotracheal tube cuff pressure is 20–30 cmH2O. However, some patients require a cuff pressure of >30 cmH2O to prevent air leakage. The study aims to determine the risk factors that contribute to the endotracheal tube cuff pressure of >30 cmH2O to prevent air leakage.DesignA multi‐centre prospective observational study.MethodsEligible patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit of three hospitals between March 2020 and July 2022 were included.
