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.

patients with double-lumen tube
OTHERPatients who required intraoperative TEE and double-lumen tube; balloon pressure adjustment before TEE probe insertion
Interventions
Tracheal cuff pressure was adjusted to 18 mmHg (25 cmH2O) before TEE probe insertion
