Inaccuracy of ETT cuff pressure in intubated pneumonia patients will affect changes in oxygen saturation, so it is necessary to measure ETT cuff pressure using appropriate techniques. This study aims to analyze the difference in effectiveness between ETT cuff measurements using a syringe and an inflator cuff on oxygen saturation values in pneumonia patients. Comparative observational design with a cross sectional approach . There were 30 respondents using a total sampling technique, which were then distributed into 2 groups, namely the cuff inflator group and the syringe group with 15 patients each. Data were collected using observation sheets for ETT cuff measurements and oxygen saturation . The results of the Pearson statistical test analysis on ETT cuff measurements measured using a cuff inflator (p=0.01) and a syringe (p=0.004), both showed a p value <0.05, which means there is a significant correlation with the oxygen saturation value. The results of the difference test using the independent t test for the saturation value carried out by measuring the ETT cuff using a cuff inflator using a syringe showed that p=0.854 (>0.05 ) which means there is no difference. The conclusion of this research is that there is no difference between the saturation values of respondents who were measured using the ETT cuff using a cuff inflator and using a syringe. It is recommended that nurses increase their role in observing and maintaining ETT cuff pressure within the ideal range by using a cuff inflator or using a syringe at the service point.References
