Abstract
In recent years endotracheal tubes with low pressure cuffs have become available with the aim of reducing trauma to the trachea and larynx. This paper uses laryngographic methods to analyse intubation trauma in 20 short to medium term intubations. No difference in laryngeal trauma was found between low pressure, large diameter cuffs when compared ot standard cuffs.Keywords
