Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the number of episodes of kinking or bending of the endotracheal tube in the intraoperative period.Timepoint: Throughout the intraoperative period (i.e from the time point of intubation till the time point of completion of the surgical procedure)—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To compare the proportion of patients requiring tube repositioning during surgery. 2. To evaluate the incidence of airway-related trauma in both the orotracheal & nasotracheal tube groups. 3. To compare the number of patients extubated in the operating room, recovery, & ICU between the two groups. 4. To compare the proportion of patients requiring reintubation within one hour of extubation between the orotracheal & nasotracheal tube groups. 5. To compare the end of surgery to extubation time between the two groups. 6. In cases of delayed extubation (extubation at recovery/ ICU), to compare the requirement of fentanyl & neuromuscular blocking agents in the first 12 hours after the end of surgery between the orotracheal & nasotracheal tube groups. Timepoint: Throughout the Intraoperative (i.e from the time point of Intubation till the time point of end of the surgical procedure) & Postoperative period ( from the time point of end of the surgical procedure till the time point of extubation & at the time point of one hour after extubation).—
