What is the cuff inflation range for the King LT Size 4?

The King LT Size 4 is designed for specific cuff inflation to ensure proper airway management and seal during ventilation. For this size, the recommended cuff inflation range is indeed between 60 to 80 mL. This volume allows the cuff to effectively seal the airway while minimizing the risk of over-inflation and potential injury to the trachea or esophagus.

Maintaining this inflation range is crucial, as it ensures adequate ventilation and prevents air leakage, facilitating effective positive pressure ventilation if needed. Proper inflation also helps in providing a barrier against aspiration, which is essential when managing unconscious or semi-conscious patients. Understanding the correct cuff inflation volume is part of safe and effective practice in emergency medical situations.
