Post Operative Sore Throat - Dysphagia - Hoarseness |
| Purpose: |
|
The purpose of this study is to test whether the incidence of sore throat and other tracheal
co-morbidities such as dysphagia and hoarseness can be lessened by use of a cuff manometer
at the beginning of surgery to inflate to the proper pressure compared to the standard
technique.
The investigators hypothesis is that inflation of the endotracheal balloon using a cuff
manometer immediately after intubation will reduce the incidence of sore throat and other
tracheal co-morbidities.
