Summary:
Tracings of inspiratory flow (upward lines) and expiratory flow (downward lines) in two patients before and after deflation of the cuff on the endotracheal tube (downward arrow). Patient (a) had a large leak (positive test result) and it was observed that after the deflation of the cuff the expiratory flow became substantially smaller than the inspiratory flow. Patient (b) had a small leak (less than 12% of inspired tidal volume; negative test result) and it was observed that the expiratory flow exhibited little if any decrease after cuff deflation in this patient. ········: peak expiratory flow. Modified from [99].
