Brief Summary:
Tracheal cuff overinflation is known to reduce tracheal mucosal blood flow and to increase tracheal morbidity. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probe insertion may increase the tracheal cuff pressure. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of TEE probe insertion on tracheal cuff pressure and to compare the effects in single-lumen tube and double-lumen tube.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase

Arm Intervention/treatment
patients with single-lumen tube
Patients who required intraoperative TEE and single-lumen tube; balloon pressure adjustment before TEE probe insertion
 Procedure: balloon pressure adjustment
Tracheal cuff pressure was adjusted to 18 mmHg (25 cmH2O) before TEE probe insertion
patients with double-lumen tube
Patients who required intraoperative TEE and double-lumen tube; balloon pressure adjustment before TEE probe insertion
 Procedure: balloon pressure adjustment
Tracheal cuff pressure was adjusted to 18 mmHg (25 cmH2O) before TEE probe insertion
