Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
HR,BP,MAP, Post op sore throat, post op nausea and vomitingTimepoint: 1.Heart rate, BP, MAP will be recorded prior to extubation, immediately following extubation, and after the patient is shifted to the postoperative ICU. 2.Just after extubation, patients will be assessed for the incidence of cough postoperatively using the Minogue Cough Score and reassessed again at 1 hr, 6 hr, and 12 hr post-extubation of trachea. Will be assessed for postoperative sore throat (POST) using a sore throat score at 1 hr, 6 hrs, and 12hr

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the incidence of postoperative cough following inflation of the endotracheal tube cuff with 2% alkalinised lidocaine versus airTimepoint: 1st hour, 6th hour & 12th hour;To assess postoperative emergence by comparing hemodynamic changes, including heart rate, blood pressure, & mean arterial pressure, after extubation in patients whose endotracheal tube cuffs were inflated with 2% alkalinised lignocaine versus air.Timepoint: Prior to extubation, immediately after extubation & after shifted to postop ICU;To compare the incidence of postoperative nausea & vomiting between patients whose endotracheal tube cuffs are inflated with 2% alkalinised lignocaine & those inflated with airTimepoint: After 12 hours;To assess patient satisfaction 12 hours after surgery under general anaesthesia, comparing patients whose endotracheal tube cuffs were inflated with 2% alkalinised lignocaine versus air.Timepoint: after 12 hours
