Safety and savings with the only single-use ETT Cuff Pressure Manometer

The article examines the essential features and uses of an endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff pressure manometer and the benefits of Pylant Monitor - a disposable single-use ETT manometer that can remain in situ for 72 hours.

An endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff pressure manometer measures and indicates the pressure within an ETT cuff. The device helps clinical staff prevent over or under-inflation of the ETT cuff, and the monitor can be adjusted regularly to optimise cuff pressure. Pressure monitoring is essential to prevent complications such as tracheal injury and aspiration.

Single-use ETT cuff pressure manometer

A disposable single-use endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff pressure manometer can remain in situ for 72 hours.

Important features include:

• A simple design with clear markings for quick and easy pressure readings
• A compact and lightweight design that’s easy to transport and use in various clinical environments, including emergency settings
• Single-use manometers are cost-effective for single-patient use
• Safety Indicators - colour-coded indicators clearly show if the pressure is within the safe range.

Various healthcare professionals use single-use endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff pressure manometers to prioritise infection control and patient safety in multiple settings. These include:

• Anaesthetists use them during surgeries to ensure proper cuff pressure and prevent cross-contamination between patients
• ICU Nurses regularly monitor cuff pressure in critically ill patients to maintain optimal ventilation and reduce the risk of infection
• Emergency teams and Paramedics employ them in pre-hospital settings during emergency intubations to ensure proper cuff inflation.
