A study in adult surgical patients to find out what causes sore throat after surgery and whether keeping breathing tube pressure at safe levels can help reduce it.

A single-centre, prospective, two-arm, observational study to investigate the causative factors of postoperative sore throat (POST) and assess whether maintaining endotracheal tube cuff pressure between 20-30 cm H2O and supraglottic airway device cuff pressure up to 60 cm H2O influences the incidence of POST. - NIL

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
A comparison of postoperative sore throat (POST) incidence between Group A, where cuff pressure is actively monitored, and Group B, which follows standard practice without cuff pressure monitoring.Timepoint: within 24 hours and at the time of discharge—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the relationship between key perioperative variables (such as intubation time, tube size, and anesthesia management) and the occurrence of postoperative sore throat (POST) in both groups.Timepoint: after one year—
