Abstract
This work presents the design and implementation of an IoT enabled Endotracheal Tube Cuff
Pressure Controller Device. This device, a fusion of electronics, control, and software engineering, aims to
automatically regulate the cuff pressure of an Endotracheal Tube placed in a patient’s trachea, ensuring
that it remains within the optimal pressure range. The ideal pressure range, established to be between
20-30 cmH2O, can be adjusted to accommodate different patients’ needs. The device is designed as an IoT
device and includes an emergency button for shutting down the system in case of an emergency. The total
cost of the system, which amounts to approximately 70 USD, makes it a cost-effective solution compared to
other commercially available options. In order to verify the device’s capability to accurately read and supply
pressure, it is benchmarked against the gold standard (Fluke 729 300G FC) using quantitative tests including
Pearson’s r test, the paired t-test, and Bland-Altman analysis. The results from these assessments confirmed
that the performance characteristics of the device are notably comparable to the Fluke 729 300G FC, which
will be further examined in this study. These outcomes, along with the device’s economic viability, validate it
as a workable and reasonable alternative. The necessity for an automated and continuous monitoring system
is further reinforced by the fact that manual cuff pressure measurement is prone to error and may even put
the patient through discomfort.
