However, the user is cautioned that anatomical variations, conditions of use, length of tube inserted or other factors may result in the use of a tracheal tube either too long or too short for a given patient. The necessity remains for expert clinical judgement in selecting the size and length of tracheal tubes. 2) These values are not specified for cuffed tracheal tubes of sizes 4,5 or smaller because cuffed tubes of these sizes are infrequently used.
