Summary

We aimed to measure the change in cuff pressure in different positions in neurosurgery cases and to investigate the effect of case length on cuff pressure.

Detailed description

It is an observational study, the cuffs of the endotracheal tubes of the patients who were intubated under general anesthesia between February 2023 and May 2023 will be inflated at 25 cm H2O pressure, and then the pressure line and the pilot balloon will be connected to the anesthesia monitor. The cuff pressure of the patient will be measured from the pilot balloon throughout the case and recorded at half-hour intervals. Postoperative sore throat will be evaluated on the VAS scale. Postoperative cough, hoarseness, and dysphagia symptoms will be evaluated.

Conditions

• The Effect of Cuff Pressure on Postoperative Dysphagia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	supine position	The patient group whose cuff pressure was measured in the supine position
OTHER	prone position	The patient group whose cuff pressure was measured in the prone position
OTHER	semi-fowler position	The patient group whose cuff pressure was measured in the semi-fowler position
