Introduction Leakage of orogastric secretions past the cuff of a tracheal tube is a contributory factor in ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current bench test methods specified in the International Standard for Anaesthetic and Respiratory Equipment...

This paper discusses mathematical modelling and experimental validation of a highly sensitive optical fibre Bragg grating (FBG) contact pressure sensor developed for healthcare applications. Bare FBGs are not very sensitive to pressure (~ 3x10-3 nm/M...
