Post-operative Sore Throat as Determines by Endotracheal Tube Inflation Technique
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating cuff manometer for Post Operative Sore Throat and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 141 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to test whether the incidence of sore throat and other tracheal co-morbidities such as dysphagia and hoarseness can be lessened by use of a cuff manometer at the beginning of surgery to inflate to the proper pressure compared to the standard technique. The investigators hypothesis is that inflation of the endotracheal balloon using a cuff manometer immediately after intubation will reduce the incidence of sore throat and other tracheal co-morbidities.
