From what I understand, a cuff manometer is used to measure the pressure of the cuff on an endotracheal tube. This can be important when ascending in an unpressurized cabin of a non-standard air evacuation platform.
What is meant by cuff pressure?
The gas pressure used to inflate and hold in place the balloon surrounding a tracheal tube or laryngeal airway.
What is the purpose of a cuff on a tracheostomy tube?
To form a seal between the tracheostomy tube and tracheal wall to prevent aspiration and/or facilitate effective ventilation with a ventilation bag/mechanical ventilator.
