Attention IPAC and Respiratory Therapists. Safe endotracheal tube cuff pressures require measurement and intervention. The Pylant Monitor is a disposable, single patient use ETT cuff pressure monitor. ETT cuff monitors are used to indicate the pressure within the ETT cuff to prevent inadvertent over or under inflation of the ETT cuff. The practitioner or institutional guidelines determine the exact inflation pressure used. Literature on ETT cuff pressures suggest that pressures between 20 cmH2O and 30 cmH2O are preferred. The Pylant Monitor is MRI compatible. The single patient use Pylant will also help prevent the transmission of pathogen’s such as C-difficile, from patient to patient, as seen with traditional re-useable cuff-inflators.
