Endotracheal Intubation, General Anesthesia

Brief summary

The goal of this \[ randomized clinical trial\] is to \[effect of different head positions on the incidence of postoperative sore throat \] in \[patients with endotracheal intubation \]. The main question it aims to answer is: the rate of postoperative sore throat will be reduced or not with the patients' head position changed during intubation.

Detailed description

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of Participants with postoperative sore throat1, 6, 24 hours after tracheal catheter removalPostoperative sore throat is defined as: persistent sore throat with the following grades: 1 point: no sore throat; 2 points: mild, accompanied by odynophagia; 3 points: moderate pain, persistent, worsening with swallowing; 4 points: severe, pain interferes with eating, requires the use of pain medication
