5. Study Description

Brief Summary
There is no accepted standard for the frequency of monitoring endotracheal tube cuff pressures (ETCP). the investigators plan on comparing two strategies for monitoring ETCP in mechanically ventilated patients. Nowadays ETCP is evaluated once every 24 hours. Next, the investigator want to conduct training for medical and nursing staff. After the training, ETCP will be measured every 8 hours. The aim of the study is to prove that more frequent pressure control (3 times a day) reduces the occurrence of abnormal ETCP.
