Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate and quantify the changes in endotracheal tube cuff pressure associated with different patient positions during spine surgical procedures.Timepoint: after intubation after positioning and every 30 mins intraoperatively and before extubation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the relationship between changes in endotracheal tube cuff pressure and the incidence of postoperative airway complications, such as sore throat, hoarseness, and tracheal injuryTimepoint: post surgery after 24 hours in the ward
