Impact of Using a Cuffed Endotracheal Tube on Limiting the Risk of Airway Fire

January 27, 2012 updated by: Joseph D. Tobias, Nationwide Children's Hospital
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of using a cuffed endotracheal tube (ETT) on the oxygen concentration in the oropharynx during adenoidectomy, tonsillectomy, or adenotonsillectomy. The study hypothesis is that inflation of the cuff on the ETT will eliminate contamination of the oropharynx with the inspired anesthetic gases and decrease the oxygen concentration in the oropharynx.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Difference in oxygen concentration in the oropharynx between cuffed and uncuffed ETT.
Time Frame: 4-5 minutes after induction
The oxygen and sevoflurane (anesthetic agent) concentration of the oropharynx would be measured during positive pressure ventilation immediately after intubation and then 4-5 mins. after anesthetic induction when the patient resumes spontaneous ventilation.
4-5 minutes after induction
