Zusammenfassung:Reduction to the risk that artifacts occur in the cuff pressure measurement owing to accumulations of water in the cuff is by a tracheal ventilation device, including a cannula tube and an inflatable sleeve (cuff) arranged around the cannula tube. The sleeve is in fluid contact with a filling tube. In certain embodiments, the inner surface of the filling tube is formed by a solid hydrophilic layer. Further disclosed is a method that improves the pressure measurement in the sleeve of a conventional tracheal ventilation device.
