Official Title: Comparison of the Audible Leak-balloon Palpation Method and the Stethoscope-guided Method for Endotracheal Tube Cuff Inflation
Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether the stethoscope can be used as a method of assessing endotracheal cuff pressure as effectively as a manometer and also to compare it with the balloon palpation/audible leak method frequently used in clinical practice in adult patients undergoing general anesthesia.The main questions it aims to answer are:Is the stethoscope as effective as a manometer in assessing endotracheal cuff pressure?Is there a difference between stethoscope and audible…
