Background: High pressures exerted by balloons and cuffs of conventional endotracheal tubes, the Combitube(R) (Tyco Healthcare Nellcor Mallinckrodt, Pleasanton, CA), the EasyTube(R) (Teleflex Ruesch, Kernen, Germany), the Laryngeal Mask Airway [TM] (LMA North America, San Diego, CA), the Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway [TM] (Fastrach(R); LMA North America), the ProSeal [TM] (LMA North America), and the Laryngeal Tube (LT; VBM Medizintechnik, Sulz, Germany) may traumatize the pharyngeal mucosa. The aim of this study was to compare pressures exerted on the pharyngeal, tracheal, and esophageal mucosa by different devices designed for securing the patient's airways. Methods: Nineteen fresh cadavers were included. To measure mucosal pressures,...
