Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressure Management: An Observational Study Guided by the SEIPS Model

Conclusion Common use of the evidence-based and internationally used protocols may standardize the management of ETTCP, improve communication among ICU staff, and promote desired patient outcomes. Relevance to Clinical Practice There is a need for developing strategies to provide standardized ETTCP management and to improve patient's quality of care. To improve the patient outcomes and quality of care, ICU managers should consider clear expectations for ETTCP management in each job description, structured and evidence-based protocols, and effective communication among disciplines and provide teaching opportunities to encourage physicians, nurses, and respiratory therapists to meet their educational needs.
