Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome is the salivary flow rate during tracheal intubation under induction of general anesthesia. Salivary flow rate will be calculated by measuring the weight of saliva collected through routine oral and pharyngeal suction during anesthesia induction and dividing it by the collection time to obtain secretion volume per unit time. | — |
