During intracuff measurement with a three-way stopcock,manometer,and syringe,the amount of cuff volume/pressure lost in the connecting tube should be minimized by which of the following?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pressurizing the manometer to 25 mm Hg before measuring the cuff pressure will ensure that the pressure/volume in the cuff will not be lost into the connecting tubing.Once pressurized,the three-way stopcock,syringe,and manometer system can be inserted into the pilot.With all three ways open,the cuff can be inflated or deflated while the pressure is being measured.
