Achieving the Recommended Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressure: A Randomized Control Study Comparing Loss of Resistance Syringe to Pilot Balloon Palpation
In the following, we show such an application to several weather extremes by making use of the many pilot balloon wind and radiosonde stations in India and surrounding regions in the ERA-CLIM and CHUAN upper-air datasets.
ERA-CLIM: historical surface and upper-air data for future reanalyses: newly digitized surface and upper-air data are useful to analyze climate and weather events in the first half of the twentieth century and may help to improve future reanalyses
In their study, the sensitivity of manual palpation of the pilot balloon to estimate cuff pressure was found to be only 52%6.
