RESUMO
The study was designed to investigate the changes in pressure and volume of a tracheal tube-cuff inflated with air, mixture of N2O + O2, saline and 4% lidocaine during nitrous oxide anesthesia. This study was conducted in 80 patients (33 male & 47 female). The pressure and volume of a tracheal tube cuff increased with air, decreased with mixture of N2O + O2 and almost remained the same with saline and 4% lidocaine. The complications were more in the air group.
