If the cuff no longer works on your ET tube - cut if off! I know that sounds drastic but it will stop other staff members from trying to inflate it!
I find often that the stoppers on the cuff come undone, so after you have inflated it - use the cover of a needle to place over and that ensure it stays done!
PS: Whilst you're here, take a moment to see our latest job opportunities for vet nurses.
we never use needle covers after one was aspirated up a large dogs et tube!
i superglue needle free valves onto mine now
