Clinical Trial: Air Versus Lignocaine for Endotracheal Tube Cuff Inflation and Effect on Postoperative Sore Throat and Intracuff Pressure

U.S., Jan. 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07315490) titled 'Air Versus Lignocaine for Endotracheal Tube Cuff Inflation and Effect on Postoperative Sore Throat and Intracuff Pressure' on Dec. 05, 2025.

Brief Summary: Endotracheal Tube (ETT) is frequently used for GA (general anesthesia) to deliver oxygen and volatile anesthetic agents to the patient and serves as a channel for anesthetic gases. The ETT cuff helps in positive pressure ventilation and maintains an adequate seal between the endotracheal tube and trachea.

Prolonged inflation of ETT cuff can cause ischemic changes of tracheal mucosa and other complications like postoperative sore throat (POST), hoarseness of voice, difficulty in s...
