Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparision of increase in intracuff pressure when saline or air is used for cuff inflation.Timepoint: Endo tracheal tube cuff Pressures measured at induction and every hour till extubation. Patient assessed for throat symptoms at 1 hour and at 24 hours after extubation. Patient assessed for throat symptoms at 1hr and 24 hrs after extubation. Correlation of cuff pressures and throat symptoms compared in two groups | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Relation of the rise in intracuff pressure & postoperative throat symptoms monitored at 1 hour & 24 hours post extubation.Timepoint: Endo tracheal tube cuff Pressures measured at induction & every hour till extubation. Patient assessed for throat symptoms at 1 hour & at 24 hours after extubation. Correlation of cuff pressures & throat symptoms compared in two groups at 1 hour & 24 hours after extubation. | — |
