Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To measure cuff pressure after intubation and to identify patients requiring cuff deflationTimepoint: Immediately after intubation and cuff inflation—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To calculate the total volume of air needed to inflate or deflate to keep the intracuff pressure less than 15 mm of HgTimepoint: Till the end of the anaesthetic or 5 hours;To determine the frequency of inflation or deflation required in patients during the course of surgery.Timepoint: Every 15 mins till the end of the case or 5 hours;To observe the continuous trend of intracuff pressure every 15 minutesTimepoint: Every 15 mins till the end of the case or 5 hours—
