A new design of tracheal tube cuff was compared with two types of high-volume, low-pressure (HVLP) cuffed tracheal tube for leakage of fluid from the subglottic space into the trachea. Spontaneous and positive-pressure ventilation were simulated using a mechanical lung, an intubated model trachea and a ventilator. Excised human tracheas were intubated and leakage past the cuff assessed. Distention of the tracheal wall was measured. HVLP cuffs leaked rapidly in the model during all modes of ventilation, and also in the excised human tracheas. This leakage occurred preferentially down longitudinal folds that occur in the HVLP cuff wall. The new design completely prevented leakage in the model during all modes of ventilation, during tracheal suctioning, and with tube movement. The new cuff also prevented leakage in the excised human tracheas. Tracheal wall distention and tracheal wall pressures were similar for all cuffs tested.
