Interventions

Intervention1: pressure volume loop technique: The endotracheal tube cuff will be inflated initially by 2 ml of air by a single investigator in all patients followed by increments of 0.2 ml air using

namely, when the expiratory limb will reach at zero volume and meet the starting point of inspiratory limb. Intervention2: inflation to precise pressure technique: The ETT cuff pressure will be maint
