Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
endotracheal tube displacement calculated as the difference between initial and final endotracheal tube depth at the premolar, measured in centimetres. A displacement of more than 1cm2 will be classified as significant endotracheal tube displacement.Timepoint: assessed at the end of the surgery immediately before extubation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
nilTimepoint: nil
